*Muscat City Tour* 😍😍❤
We will start by visiting the Bait al Zubair Museum😍, which houses a small but interesting collection of Omani
clothing, jewellery, and weapons.
Next we will cover the Al Alam Palace😍, the ceremonial palace of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, built in 1972.
Once the sun sets we will walk on the cornice around the harbour in Muttrah😍, one of the most famous parts of Muscat and the old centre of trade. Here you can shop at the souq for frankincense, jewellery, and Omani textiles – quite a nice experience in the evening when more Omanis are in the market.
Lastly, we will visit the Grand Mosque 😍, which took 6 years to build under the direction of Sultan Qaboos. The main musalla and the second largest carpet in the world bring together the Tabriz, Kashan, and Isafan design
traditions, and the massive centre chandelier is not to be missed.
