Itinerary

  • 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.
