9 Omani newspapers in the directory
Publishing in the Sultanate began to expand in the early 1970s, establishing a foundation of both state-backed and privately owned dailies. Leading this sector is Al Watan, the oldest privately owned Arabic daily founded in 1971, alongside the state-run Arabic broadsheet Oman. Catering to different demographics, Times of Oman stands as the oldest English-language newspaper, while the privately owned Muscat Daily has grown heavily in circulation since its 2009 launch. Print media largely circulates in Arabic, though English editions remain essential for the country's substantial expatriate population.
