- Begin your Muscat City Tour with a visit to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, a breathtaking example of modern Islamic architecture. The mosque boasts a vast prayer hall, exquisite mosaics, and houses the world’s second-largest handwoven carpet. Open to non-Muslim visitors during the morning hours, it provides a serene setting to immerse yourself in Oman’s rich Islamic heritage.
- After visiting the mosque, head to the historic district of Muscat and explore the Muttrah Souk, a traditional Omani market. The souk offers a diverse selection of goods, with highlights including authentic Omani souvenirs such as frankincense, the iconic Khanjar (Omani dagger), exquisite silver handicrafts, and elegant Pashmina shawls
- Take a scenic stroll along the Muttrah Corniche, a beautiful waterfront in Muscat that offers breathtaking views of the harbor and the majestic surrounding mountains.
- Perched on a hill overlooking the harbor, Muttrah Fort is a 16th-century fortress built by the Portuguese. Visitors can explore its ancient watchtowers while taking in panoramic views of Muttrah and the Gulf of Oman.
- The next stop is The National Museum*, where Oman’s rich cultural heritage is on full display, featuring exhibits that range from ancient artifacts to modern history. The museum’s state-of-the-art galleries offer an immersive journey through the Sultanate’s art, culture, and maritime legacy. Alternatively, visit Bait Al Zubair Museum*, a charming town house converted into a museum showcasing archaeological discoveries and traditional Omani customs.
- Take a foto stop at the Riyam Censer, which is a striking monument shaped like a traditional Omani incense burner, visible as you pass by
- Next, we’ll head to the Sultan’s Palace (Al Alam Palace), renowned for its stunning blue and gold façade. While it’s not open to the public, visitors can appreciate its magnificent architecture from the outside.
