Mystical Muscat

Culture and History tour in Muscat

Tour Price : $200 Duration : 5-6 hours Languages: english, russian, french

We start our tour at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, a magnificent architectural complex. Its furnishings are the grandest you will find anywhere in the region. The construction is outstanding and is a must see on anyone's agenda. (It is necessary to wear a headscarf, long skirt or trousers and long sleeves for ladies. Men should wear long trousers).

We then drive to Muttrah, the unique part of old Muscat. Here we have two points of our interest. Muttrah Souk houses a wide selection of gold, silver, spices, pashminas, hubbly-bubbly pipes, old guns, fabrics and bric-a-brac. The labyrinth of alleyways are many; most of the souk would remain undiscovered after hours of walking. Muttrah Fish Souk has a wide selection of seafood and we are going to have an unforgettable time here.

The next jorney takes us to the Old Muscat where we proceed on foot, walking around the Al Alam Palace with its fairytail towers with gold and blue. We as well visit an ancient Mirani Fort built by Portuguese at the beginning of 16th century. Photo stop at Jelali fort.

Here our tour ends. 

Full day city tour is also possible with different activities to choose from.
