Muscat And Surrounds
Charming Scenes. Traditional Values
Composed of a number of small neighbourhoods, Muscat boasts three imposing forts from the days of Portuguese control that add to its historic character. The beauty of the area's many carefully maintained parks and beaches also attract attention, and several great museums present specialised exhibits on military history, the oil industry, Omani culture, and regional flora and fauna.
Scuba dive off Muscat's wild and varied coastline and enjoy the rich sites of natural heritage. Take in the scenery of the picturesque mountains and spot the occasional white oryx or mountain fox whilst scaling the rocks to the top for magnificent views. The old walled city is fascinating to discover and is a favourite amongst visitors and locals.
For unique spectator sports, catch a camel race at Seeb or the dramatic bull fighting. Head to the labyrinthine souk for exquisite silver jewellery, carpets and textiles or wander through the quaint Mutrah neighbourhood at the seafront before settling down for a feast of Omani cuisine in true Arabian style.
