Make the most of your stay and visit the Omani capital: Muscat! 

You will start your tour in the ministries district, where you will notably observe the diverse modern buildings, that still have a touch of Arab architecture. Then continue your guided visit exploring the Grand Sultan Qabus Mosque, a true architectural wonder and a major city structure.

After that, take a trip to the fish market and the Muttrah bazaar, which are full of charm and authentic flavours.

Finish off at the Bait Al Zubair museum, where you can enjoy an insight on Omani history and culture. Make your final stop at the Al Alam Palace (where Sultan Qaboos lives) and take a few pictures.
