What our travelers think about their stay

Muttrah is Muscat's old area. There’s a souq, a promenade along the sea, and really interesting craft shops.

My suggestion

Once you're in Muttrah, you can push a little further along the sea towards the east to discover developed parks, little beaches, and the district where the sultan's palace is located.
