Contrary to most cities, the modern capitals have kept their original character. The skyline of the city is not made up of high-rise buildings but of whitewashed houses, domes, and minarets, giving the city a very harmonious and traditional atmosphere.
The splendid Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is located in the very center of the city and is a place of worship that is unrivaled by the others in terms of beauty; its major chandelier and the exquisite handwoven carpet are just some of the things it is known for. Besides, the Royal Opera House Muscat symbolizes the country’s love for art and culture, while the Muttrah Corniche invites the public to take a leisurely walk along the waterfront, which borders the markets and cafes and the very old Muttrah Souk that spreads the wonderful smell of frankincense and spices.
The history-oriented people may enjoy the ride to and around the Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts that loom over the Old Port, or they may prefer the visit to the National Museum of Oman for a more in-depth understanding of the country's rich past. Besides, for the love of nature, Muscat is the right place for trips and visits to places like Wadi Shab, Bimmah Sinkhole, or even going on dolphin-watching tours in the Gulf of Oman.
Muscat is not just a city with its immaculate beaches, top-notch resorts, and friendly people but the true essence of Oman, which is tranquil, welcoming, and full of aesthetics. It's a place that invites you both to encounter and to relax; hence, every trip is already an unforgettable adventure into the heart of Arabia.
