Guided Tour of Muscat

Muscat is a city on the shores of the Arabian Sea that combines modern buildings with 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, the elegant Muscat neighborhood that houses embassies, ministries, and upscale hotels. From there, we will begin our guided tour.

In this area, we can appreciate the contrast of styles that the capital of Oman offers – the modernity of the government buildings is fused with ancient Islamic architecture.

Next, we will visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the biggest in the country, built by a team of up to 20,000 workers, occupying a space of almost 420,000 square meters.

Then we will visit the fish market and stroll through the narrow-covered alleys of the Mutrah Souk, experiencing the mixture of smells from spices, coffee, and herbal remedies.

Later, we will head to the Bait Al Zubair Museum, where you will explore the history and culture of Oman (entrance ticket included). Before concluding the tour, we will stop in front of the Al Alam Palace, the official residence of Sultan Qaboos.
