Muscat Trips & Tours

Immerse yourself in the charm of old Arabia mixed with modern life in Oman's captivating capital city.
Framed by rugged, rocky hills and the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Oman, Muscat is a city steeped in history. Admire the architectural masterpiece that is the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, wander through the bustling Mutrah Souq where the scent of frankincense fills the air, or visit the Bait Al Zubair Museum to learn about Oman's rich history and culture. And of course, don't forget the Royal Opera House, the first of its kind in the Arabian Peninsula, known for its diverse performances and beautiful architecture.

Something to think about

Something to think about

While Muscat is an open and welcoming city, it's important to remember that it is in a country with conservative traditions. Dress modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites or traditional neighbourhoods. It's also useful to be aware of prayer times, as many businesses close briefly during these periods.
