About Maskat

Maskat, Omans Hauptstadt, liegt zwischen schroffen Bergen und dem Golf von Oman: große Moschee, alte Forts, Souks und anmutige Corniche.

Die Große Sultan-Qabus-Moschee ist das Prunkstück der Stadt, mit einem riesigen Gebetssaal, einem enormen handgeknüpften Teppich und einem Kristalllüster, umgeben von marmornen Höfen. In der Altstadt von Maskat wird der farbenfrohe Al-Alam-Palast von den Forts Jalali und Mirani aus portugiesischer Zeit flankiert, die auf Felsen über dem Hafen thronen.

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