Highlights

Muscat is considered the pulsating heart of Oman. Perhaps what striking about Muscat Governorate is the breathtaking intermingling of ancient culture and heritage and modern style.

Itinerary

  • Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Close to the road leading to the heart of the capital Muscat stands the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Wilayat (district) Bawshar, like a radiant lighthouse attracting its visitors to interact with the spirit of Islam as a religion, science and civilisation. This mosque highlights its role as a scientific and intellectual source of knowledge across the Islamic world.
  • Sultan's Armed Forces Museum

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    The museum accommodates weapons, clothing, instruments, and other defence systems that display both visually and audibly the development of the Omani armed forces throughout history.
  • Mutrah Souq

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Mutrah Souq is one of the oldest markets in Oman, dating back about two hundred years. Its antiquity has perhaps increased the extent of its beauty, magic and allure.When passing through this souq, your senses are tantalised by the aromatic smells of frankincense, incense and Arabian perfumes. Mutrah Souq is known for its handicrafts like silverware, daggers, traditional cloth, new apparel and shoes, in addition to the famous Omani sweets (Halwa), spices and braziers (receptacles in which incense or frankincense is burned).
  • Al Alam Palace

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Located in the old town, or locally well known as Old Muscat. This is the official residence of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. It will be an outside photo stop only.
  • Mirani Fort

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Lies in old Muscat and overlooks the Sea of Oman. It is also known as Al Gharbiya Fort as it commands a view of a high rocky hill at the end of the west wall. It can be reached by climbing a flight of stairs carved into the rock.
  • Al Jalali Fort

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The fort consists of two towers connected by a wall punctuated by holes for cannons. The building is completely isolated and cannot be accessed from its rocky façade; instead there is a small bridge and stairway ending at one of the holdouts for safe exit. Visitors can only view the castle from the outside
