About Mascate

Mascate, capitale d'Oman, s'étire entre montagnes arides et golfe d'Oman : grande mosquée, vieux forts, souks et gracieuse corniche.

La Grande Mosquée du sultan Qabous est le fleuron de la ville, avec une vaste salle de prière, un énorme tapis tissé à la main et un lustre en cristal, au milieu de cours de marbre. Dans le vieux Mascate, le coloré palais d'Al Alam est flanqué des forts de Jalali et de Mirani, de l'époque portugaise, perchés sur des rochers au-dessus du port.

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