About Masqat

Muscat, de hoofdstad van Oman, ligt tussen ruige bergen en de Golf van Oman, met een grote moskee, oude forten, soeks en een sierlijke corniche.

De Sultan Qaboos Grote Moskee is het paradepaardje van de stad, met een enorme gebedszaal, een reusachtig met de hand geweven tapijt en een kristallen kroonluchter, te midden van marmeren binnenplaatsen. In het oude Muscat wordt het kleurrijke Al Alam-paleis geflankeerd door de forten Jalali en Mirani uit de Portugese tijd, die op rotsen boven de haven staan.
