Located at the Opera Galleria, Royal Opera House Muscat’s flagship shopping destination, the store is spread over 1,200 square meters of luxurious retail space and houses a vast array of international luxury brands in watches, perfumes, cosmetics, eyewear, accessories and leather goods. The retailer’s eye-catching retail concepts, impeccable service standards and traditional Arabic hospitality practices sees it stand out as an unequivocal shopping and gifting destination in the Middle East.

“We are honoured to have Paris Gallery in Oman at the exclusive and centrally located Opera Galleria. With Paris Gallery’s solid reputation and expertise in luxury retail and customer service, we will deliver the most unique, state-of-the-art retail experience in Oman. We look forward to accelerated growth through our on-going focus on luxury and service,” said Mr. Salim Bin Abdullah Al Rawas, Chairman of Oman Luxury LLC.

Oman is a strategic market for Paris Gallery and the new store in partnership with Oman Luxury LLC is part of our vision to expand our presence in the region. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with our stakeholders and the consumers of this country.”
