About Mascate

Mascate, capital de Omán, entre escarpadas montañas y el golfo de Omán: gran mezquita, viejos fuertes, zocos y una elegante corniche.

La Gran Mezquita del Sultán Qaboos es el orgullo de la ciudad, con una vasta sala de oración, una enorme alfombra tejida a mano y una lámpara de cristal, entre patios de mármol. En la vieja Mascate, el colorido Palacio de Al Alam está flanqueado por los fuertes de Jalali y Mirani, de época portuguesa, encaramados sobre rocas por encima del puerto.

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