Muscat (or Masqat or Mascate) is a particular site between modernity and tradition. A long main road crosses the city through white typical houses, running in parallel with the sea. The only way to move is by taxi or by car...no public services! Omanites are pleasant and kind. Men wear long white garments, while women dresses with black ones and covered head. However tourists are not obliged to wear the veil. It is a calm and rather sure place, also to visit by themselves but it's not a trendy place for nightlife! Don't miss forts, wonderful sunsets and pleasant excursions to the desert, the mountains and diving sports! The best period to go is between november and march. Since May to August you can experience more than 50°C degrees!!!

Location: Muttrah Corniche A basic, but clean hotel, I stayed there for longer time. The stuff is friendly. The location in the corniche is just perfekt to explore Muttrah the old part of Muscat. Moderate price.

- go the the sukh/fish market (early in the moring)! - buy sandlewood and frankincense at the bazaar (only in the evening) - have a look at the Sultans's palace or go dirt biking in between (do not forget the camelback!). Having said the latter - the old fortresses are more interesintg
