Muscat's air quality reflects the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea coastal position, with consistent northwest and southeast Arabian Sea monsoon breezes providing maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the port, government, and construction corridor contribute local sources, while windblown Arabian Desert dust generates elevated PM10 during shamal wind events and Muscat generally maintains moderate to good Gulf of Oman coastal metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
