The newspaper is published by the Muscat Media Group, which is also behind publications such as Al Shabiba, Hi Weekly and Sabbat Ayam.

This explains why the newspaper dedicates more pages to news about the Indian Subcontinent since the majority of expatriates in Oman are from that region.

The Muscat Media Group is a publishing house in the Sultanate of Oman, established in 1975 by Essa bin Mohammed Al Zedjali.

In 2004, Muscat Media Group house became the first in the GCC countries to develop an online edition for its daily newspapers Times of Oman and Al Shabiba.

It also contains a Life and Style part in addition to entertainment pages with crosswords, daily horoscope, airlines and bus schedules.

In December 2012, the Times of Oman website was redesigned to include more sections for news coverage in the local department and across the globe.

The magazine's main focus was on topical and cover stories and special features, but also on subjects such as healthcare and beauty tips, crime, romance, travel, parenting, fashion and cooking.
