Muscat the capital of
Oman since 1784 has a great deal of charm and
character. Muscat offers the combination of the relaxed
atmosphere of an Indian Ocean town set amongst the
well ordered life of a modern oil state. The
original town of Muscat forms but a fraction of the
administrative area, also known to non residents as
Muscat. These areas have their own identities and
may be some kilometres away from Muscat itself. |
|
OMANI HERITAGE |
Muscat includes the memorable Al Alam Palace and the
medieval forts of Jalali and Mirani. Close to these
is Muscat's best Museum - Bait Zubair Museum with its well displayed
collection of Omani heritage and Muscat's newest
museum Bait Al Baranda . From Muscat the town
and port of Muttrah is a few moments drive away. We
provide
full and
half day excursions to Muscat
holiday from your hotel. |

MUTTRAH SOUQ |
| In
Muscat, Muttrah
Souq (market) is the main traditional souq
and is a great place to stroll and window
shop for 23 carat gold jewellery or select a
souvenir of your holiday in Muscat in one of the shops selling old Omani
silver and Khanjars (Omani daggers). In the evening
many residents of Muscat take their daily walk along the
picturesque corniche near the souq. |
| Ruwi is principally
known for the commercial business areas of Muscat but in the
Armed Forces Museum has one of the better Museums in
Muscat. Qurm has the principal shopping area in
Muscat for major western brands and several
beach
front hotels and Al Khuwayr is an expanding
residential area of Muscat with many government ministry
buildings, embassies and is close to the
