Why this trip
White houses, frankincense and mountains that drop straight into the sea: Muscat is Arabia's calm capital, and this calm is the reason why many couples and families choose it as their entry to Oman. The city stretches for many kilometres along the coast. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the centre for visitors, with a prayer hall and gardens. On the Mutrah Corniche you walk by the water, in the Mutrah Souq it smells of frankincense, and Mutrah Fort rises above the harbour.
The Al Alam Palace serves the Sultan for ceremonies, and the National Museum and the Bait Al Zubair Museum show Oman's history. Shangri-La Al Husn and Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel come from the hotel list. The best time lies between October and March. Jabal Akhdar, Nizwa, Musandam and Salalah are the neighbours.
If you visit mosques, cover shoulders and knees, which is also a sign of respect. Distances in Oman are long, so it is best to use Muscat as a base for two to three days before heading into the mountains with a driver or a rental car.
