Muscat is a city on the shores of the Arabian Sea, featuring modern buildings alongside ancient fortresses and narrow streets. Discover the capital of Oman with this guided tour.

Itinerary

We will pick you up at your hotel in the morning and head towards Shati Al-Qurm, an elegant Muscat neighborhood home to embassies, ministries, and upscale hotels. Our guided tour will begin here.

You will appreciate the contrast of styles in the capital of Oman, where modern government buildings combine with elements of ancient Islamic architecture.

Next, we will visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the largest in the country, built by a team of up to 20,000 workers, covering almost 420,000 square meters. Admire its geometrical patterns in marble.

Following this, we will visit the fish market and stroll through the narrow-covered alleys of the Mutrah Souk, where the mixture of spices, coffee, and herbal remedies will enhance your experience.

Later, we will proceed to the Bait Al Zubair Museum, where you will explore Oman's history and culture (entrance ticket included). Before concluding the tour, we will make a final stop at the Al Alam Palace, the official residence of Sultan Qaboos. Remember to bring your camera.
