Oman's Biggest Selling National Daily Newspaper
Launched on October 10, 2009, Muscat Daily is now the largest selling broadsheet newspaper in the Sultanate of Oman with 33,500 daily copies and 28,000 subscribers.. Muscatdaily.com ensures that unrivalled news coverage from Oman, the region and internationally is available 24/7.
Muscat Daily changed the newspaper industry in a country where the existing titles did not adequately cover political, crime or other sensitive news. Our belief in the importance of local news has paid dividends as we rapidly grew from the fourth English language daily newspaper in the Sultanate at the time of launch, to the No. 1 position in less than a year – possibly a world first for any market.
Muscat Daily has won accolades for its bold and unbiased coverage of various issues including the Oman Protests of 2011 - being the only newspaper to cover the protests from its beginning - and it's political and economic fallout.

At present, we have 115,300 readers with a print run of 33,500.
