Muscat Must-Sees

Muscat showcases Omani architecture and maritime history through landmarks like the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which features a massive hand-woven carpet and Swarovski chandelier. The waterfront district of Mutrah houses a centuries-old labyrinthine souq and a restored 16th-century Portuguese fort. Old Muscat contains the Al Alam Palace flanked by the twin forts of Al-Mirani and Al-Jalali, alongside the National Museum and Bait Al Zubair, which document the country’s archaeological findings and cultural traditions.
