Muscat is the largest city in Oman, and has been ruled by several different nations in the past including the Portuguese and the Persians.

Today Muscat is full of traditional buildings, great beaches, and spectacular scenery. As Muscat sits between vast mountains and the Gulf of Oman, you don’t have to look hard to find some great sights. This is all made even more special by the bright blue sky, and the brilliant heat.

If you’re after some of Muscat’s great history, visit the grand mosque. With its white walls, and beautiful interior, this mosque is not to be missed.

Muscat is full of charm and culture, and has a strong traditional feel. To discover Muscat and the other cultural cities of Oman travel with the “Oman in the Land of Sinbad Tour” from £2125.
