Muscat

Muscat, situated on the Gulf of Oman, is the country’s capital and most populated city. With the Al Hajar Mountains as its background, this Arabian city offers travelers a variety of experiences with its desert, rugged coastline, beaches, and lush green valleys. Its rich heritage can still be seen in the Portuguese forts that date back to the 16th century; blue-domed mosques, royal palaces, and souks.
