IH Muscat - Polyglot Institute

Our priority is always taking care of our students and staff. That has never been more true than now. While the impact of coronavirus means that coming into classes is not advisable or not possible, we are still here for you. Our classes are still running online, and we are keeping as much normality as we can. Our teachers and staff are here to support you as far as possible. From online classes, to activities to complete at home and technical advice, we are doing what we can to keep you on track on your course. If you are on the hunt for an exotic and yet reasonably safe and secure Middle Eastern country to set your study abroad sights on, Oman might be the destination you are seeking.

Perched between the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, Oman holds the place of the second-largest country, next to Saudi Arabia, in that area and holds many opportunities for study within its borders.

Because of its critically prominent and strategic position at the mouth of the gulf, it is a country with significant political and economic interest both historically and today. And yet there are is a good reason why Oman has still remained the comparative wallflower of the Middle East: both students and their parents will be pleased to know that the country, called a sultanate, is one of the more hospitable and safest countries in the region.

Oman has a reputation as a safe haven, International students are welcomed into study abroad programmes especially for language, culture and religious study. These subjects are most strongly represented, among a broad inclusive range of other academic engagements such as politics and the economy.

This curious country provides a culturally rich hub of research to be done by the right students.

The City

Muscat is the capital of Oman. It is also the seat of government and largest city in the Governorate of Muscat. The rocky Western Al Hajar Mountains dominate the landscape of Muscat. The city lies on the Arabian Sea along the Gulf of Oman. Low-lying white buildings typify most of Muscat´s urban landscape, while the port-district of Muttrah, with its corniche and harbor, form the north-eastern periphery of the city.

The city has numerous mosques including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Ruwi Mosque, Saeed bin Taimoor and Zawawi Mosque. A few Shi´ite mosques also exist here.

Muscat has a number of museums for example Museum of Omani Heritage, National Museum of Oman. Recent projects include an opera house. One of the most notable new projects is the Oman National Museum. It is expected to be an architectural jewel along with the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.

Muscat´s economy, like that of Oman, is dominated by trade. The more traditional exports of the city included dates, Nacre, and fish. Many of the souks of Muttrah sell these items and traditional Omani artefacts

Muscat features a hot climate with long and very hot summers and warm "winters".

Football is the favorite sport in Oman.
