2½ hours clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Seeb International, but you should still head directly to your gate. MCT operates as one unified terminal building, so most connections are simply a walk along the main concourse between gate piers. A minority of flights use remote stands served by apron buses, which can add 10-15 minutes; there is no train or people mover.
