Noor Majan takes pride in serving and being present in Muscat, the capital city of Oman. In response to the demand for a high-quality Arabic language program, we established a branch campus in the strategically located neighborhood of Al Khuwair in January 2018. We relocated our headquarters to Al Khuwair from the interior city of Ibri during the pandemic in 2021.

Noor Majan–Muscat is located in a modern and multi-story building at the vibrant heart of Al Khuwair’s central marketplace, or souq. The campus is surrounded by a plethora of restaurants, stores, cafés, and nearby important services such as hospitals and pharmacies. Noor Majan–Muscat’s centralized location in Al Khuwair places students equidistant from the major points of interest in Muscat. Within a 10-minute drive, students can reach Qurum Beach, the Muscat Royal Opera House, and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, while destinations like the Muscat International Airport, the historic market in Mutrah, and the Omani National Museum are all less than 15 minutes away. The map below showcases Noor Majan–Muscat’s location and the many services and tourist sites in proximity to the campus.

Noor Majan upholds the highest standards of Arabic language acquisition, first by attracting talent through a competitive hiring process, continual professional development for instructors, and continual evaluation of results and application of improvements. We believe that successful language acquisition occurs when students are repeatedly challenged to utilize and develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities in a structured environment. Thus, Noor Majan’s methodology reflects this idea by dividing instruction time into two distinct concentrations: foundational knowledge in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and application of knowledge and skills through media literacy.

Throughout the different concentrations, Noor Majan utilizes Al Kitaab Fi Ta’allum  Al-‘Arabiyya (Mahmoud Al Batal) as the primary course material. Complementary material is gleaned from Al Kitaab Al-Asasi (1-3) (El-Said Badawi), A Student Grammar of Modern Standard Arabic (Eckehard Schultz), and Ahlan Wa Sahlan (Mahdi Alosh). All courses draw upon authentic and relevant material from print and the internet to engage the student with appropriate usage of the language. The institute follows and applies international teaching standards set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), with the ability to teach nine distinct levels from beginner to advanced as well as customized material for the superior levels, diplomats, and graduate/doctoral students.
