Muscat: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

Seasoned Traveller

Muscat is the capital of Oman, a country situated on the point of the Arab Peninsula, between the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. A trip to Oman is really for couples or adventurous travellers.

My suggestion

To enjoy Muscat at its best, go there between September and April. Outside these times the intense heat limits your activities and movement. The best way to get there is by plane.

The capital of the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat has the charm of a city that is both modern and traditional.

My suggestion

Most of the hotels are located in the modern part of the city, but places of interest (including the old town called Muttrah) are located to the east. Don't hesitate to rent a car due to the distance.
