We are looking forward to welcoming our loyal corporate clients, meetings and events customers, and Radisson Blu global fans to this exciting city on the Gulf of Oman," said Francois Galoisy, general manager Radisson Blu Hotel, Sohar.

The hotel's three restaurants and bars provide a choice of food and beverages.
