Muscat Holidays

Muscat is the principle city of Oman and the heartland of the nation. This picturesque low-rise white-washed city is a disarming combination of old and new Arabia – a special city where modern commercial life exists in harmony with age-old traditions and a unique Omani culture. An important 16th century trading port set around a natural harbour, there is much to see and do in Muscat. Visit the Grand Mosque and Bait Al Zubair Museum which traces Oman’s history and development or drive along the waterfront to visit the Fish Market and the colourful Muttrah Souq which sells everything from textiles and antiques to gold and spices. Also of interest is the magnificent Al Alam Palace, the official home of the Sultan, and the neighbouring 16th century Portuguese forts of Mirani and Jalali. All of our holidays and tours to Oman are unique and fully personalised.
