Shati Al-Qurum (also written Shatti Al-Qurm) is a residential locality and district situated on the coast of Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
[1] Known for its upscale businesses and expensive homes, it is also notable as Muscat's Diplomatic District due to many embassies and consulates being located there.
Shatti Al-Qurum is bordered by Qurum to the east, the Ministries and Embassies to the west and Madinat Qaboos to the south.
[citation needed] The most noticeable sight while driving down the Sultan Qaboos Highway used to be the Intercontinental Hotel but today several other significant constructions have been built.
Royal Opera House Muscat, cinema, theatre, schools and a hospital are also located there.
