Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel reopens
Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel reopens following a period of extensive enhancements that includes redesigned rooms and suites, 
refreshed Ritz Kids experiences, and new culinary options. An iconic symbol of Omani culture and hospitality, the palace hotel has been reimagined to embrace the needs of families and the modern global traveller, offering new and inspiring experiences that bridge heritage with state of the art technology and modern design. While the rooms retain their original elegance, an enhanced level of modern luxury is now provided by rich furnishings, lush materials and neutral metallic tones. New artwork pays homage to Oman’s artisans with contemporary digital prints incorporating images of traditional Omani silverware, jewellery, khanjars, and coffee pots.
Al Mouj Muscat installs region’s First Seabin
Al Mouj Muscat has installed the region’s first Seabin at its 5 Gold Anchor Al Mouj Marina. 
The Seabin is a floating debris interception device designed to be installed in the calm waters of marinas, yacht clubs and ports that directs rubbish to the surface of the water to the bin that collects floating debris like plastic bottles, bags, as well as micro plastics up to 2mm small. The Seabin can catch an estimated 1.5kgs of floating debris per day (depending on weather and debris volumes) including microplastics. It works as the water is sucked in from the surface and passes through a catch bag inside the Seabin, with a submersible water pump capable of displacing 25.000 Lph (liters per hour), plugged directly into 110/220 V outlet.
