SalamAir’s routing includes a 10h 30m layover in Muscat outbound and 11h 20m return — both long enough to leave the airport and explore the Omani capital. Top sights within 25–35 min of MCT: Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque (closes 11am to non-Muslims), Mutrah Souk on the corniche, and the Royal Opera House. Oman offers e-visa or visa-on-arrival for most EU passport holders (10 OMR / ~€24 single entry, applied online before departure for fastest clearance). With ~3h transit buffer, you can comfortably spend 6+ hours in the city on each leg — effectively a “free” mini-break in the Gulf bundled with the deal.
⚠️ Checked baggage is not included in this fare. Add it during booking on Skyscanner.
🌍 About Kigali
Kigali is famously the cleanest city in Africa, and it's not an accident: single-use plastic bags have been banned since 2008 (they'll confiscate them at the airport), and on the last Saturday of every month the whole country stops for Umuganda, a mandatory three-hour community clean-up when shops shut and traffic halts. The thing to eat is goat brochettes — marinated skewers grilled over charcoal, served with fried plantain and a cold Primus. Head to Nyamirambo, the lively Muslim-influenced quarter, where they're a fraction of hotel prices and the street life is real. Built across steep hills, the city is walkable in stretches but moto-taxis fill the gaps. Come in the long dry season, June to September: easiest weather, firm trails if you're continuing to the gorillas, though that's also peak demand, so book fares early.
