What to expect

A superb introduction to Oman, this tour will guide you around the fascinating Capital City, where you'll be given insight into the culture and history Muscat offers.

In the morning you'll meet your guide and embark on your journey towards the Grand Mosque. The Grand Mosque is one of the largest Mosques in the world and it's full of beautiful artwork, chandeliers and one-piece carpet covering the entire prayer hall.

After the visit to the Grand Mosque, you'll leave for a tour of Old Muscat. You'll first drive towards Bait Al Zubair Museum, which consists of a concise collection reflecting the splendid Omani Heritage. The collection includes traditional Omani Weapons such as swords, daggers, rifles and their accessories, along with jewelry, cosmetics and costumes from various regions of Oman.

Later, you'll arrive at the official palace of His Majesty, Sultan Qaboos. Al Alam Palace is flanked by two Portuguese forts: Jalali and Mirani. Here, you'll stop to take pictures of Jalali Fort (outside photo stop only).

You'll then continue the drive along the corniche side and arrive at the Muttrah souq, one of the oldest souqs in Oman. Embark on your walk through the narrow alleys of the souq and enjoy the mystic smell of sandalwood that creates a great atmosphere. It is a place where you can communicate with local people and can buy souvenirs for friends and family.
