My Travel: Muscat , Oman

Muscat Impressions
Arriving in Muscat , Oman

Tour : An introduction to Oman's capital with its mix of medieval, traditional and modern architecture

It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know the highlights of this diverse and unusual capital with its amazing  combination of traditional customs and new developments.




Our excursion includes a visit to the Grand Mosque, which covers an area of over one million square feet and can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers.

Drive into the capital for a stop in front of the Sultan's Palace, flanked by the Portuguese forts, Jalali and Mirani. NeXtra stop takes us to the magnificent Bait Al Zubair Museum, which highlights the history of the country and it's people.  Exhibits consist of many fascinating artefacts including traditional costumes, jewellery, handcrafts and weapons.



Next for an authentic shopping experience we visit the Muttrah Souk where the stalls sell traditional Omani items such as Dallah  ( bronze coffee posts), exotic spices and frankincense.
