About Muscat

Muscat, Omans hovedstad, strækker sig mellem barske bjerge og Omanbugten, med en stor moské, gamle forter, souker og en yndefuld strandpromenade.

Sultan Qaboos Store Moské er byens paradenummer, med en enorm bedesal, et enormt håndvævet tæppe og en krystallysekrone, midt i marmorgårde. I gamle Muscat er det farverige Al Alam-palads flankeret af de portugisiske forter Jalali og Mirani, siddende på klipper over havnen.

Top-ranked sights in Muscat: Wahiba Sands (Sharqiyah Sands), Wadi Bani Khalid, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
