What to do in Muscat : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants

Muscat Capital of a country rather confidential, Muscat is a port city whose heritage is intact, while at the same time offers a rather attractive hotel facilities, and modern technology side by side with ancient traditions.

The Sultanate of Oman has, besides the common borders with Yemen and Saudi Arabia, a coast on the Indian Ocean which allows him to open up to tourism for some time. In Muscat, a city nestled between rocky peaks, you can visit the famous mosque Qaboos, with its five minarets and its high coffered dome, which focuses the art and history of the city and is the most important place of worship the country.

The general décor of the city seems a bit unreal, like some storytelling, with its colorful buildings and extreme cleanliness. You can explore it with a camel ride to admire the sunsets over the ocean, stroll through the maze of alleyways of the old city (with a guide if you do not want to lose!), Procurement the general market Mutrah where you will find local products and crafts, spices, incense, textiles, jewelry, but also enjoying a moment of rest on the benches of the ledge where you can admire the port's activity, unless you would prefer one of the many outdoor cafes where you can enjoy a mango juice. You can also try the experiment of shisha in cafes dedicated to this traditional activity. Anyway, you may appreciate the nonchalance that emerges from this city, placed between past and present.
