The most common technique to isolate the oil is hydro-distillation and steam-distillation. The investigation presented in this paper was aimed to unravel the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oil in the leaves of <em>L. nobilis</em> grown in Oman. The essential oil was extracted from the leave of the selected plant species by hydro distillation using Clevenger type apparatus. The antimicrobial assay was done by disc diffusion methods against three bacterial strains, <em>Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> and <em>Escherichia coli</em>, and one fungal strain: <em>Candida albicans</em>. The isolated essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The percentage yield of the essential oil was 0.064% (w/w). The essential oil was found actively against the applied bacterial and fungal strains. The highest activity was found against <em>S. aureus</em> and the lowest was against <em>E. coli</em>, and the order was <em>S. aureus > P. aeruginosa > E. coli</em>. The essential oil was also active against the fungus <em>C. albicans</em>. The range of inhibition zones was 6–14 mm. The results of GC-MS analysis showed (<em>E</em>)-<em>β</em>-caryophyllene to be the major component about 59.62%. Other major components included <em>α</em>-selinene (14.03%), <em>α</em>-humulene (8.65%), <em>β</em>-selinene (4.99%), and <em>α</em>-pinene (4.98%).
