Muscat
Muscat is the capital city of Oman and provides tourists a unique blend of traditional and modern. Compared to other major cities in the Gluf, Muscat remains very low-key.

Points of Interest
Mutrah Souk is the most popular tourist destination in Muscat and possibly the whole of Oman. Although it's housed under modern timber roofing, it's one of the most authentic souks in Arabia and it offers a glimpse into Oman's past with tight alleyways and the aroma of frankincense and sandalwood. You can easily get lost if you venture from the main thoroughfare, but that's half the fun! You'll find some great shops selling a mixture of Indian and Omani items and as bargaining is expected, be prepared to haggle!

It is dressed in large quantities of white and red-brown marble on the inside, as well as the world's second largest carpet, you can also find a huge Swarovski crystal chadelier in the centre of the hall which is a mega-14 metres tall!
