MUSCAT REGION :

From the capital area of Muscat, the region stretches along the coast eastwards towards Quriyat. Westwards and inland the boundary ends at Rusayl, at the foothills of the mountains.

The region has much to offer in terms of natural beauty, pristine sandy beaches, rugged mountains and wadis. Coastal waters teem with aquatic life. Muscat reflects its rich history and culture, together with a beautiful and modern face of a well planned city with all the amenities to be expected but where the old harmonises with the new.
Many nationalities inhabit Muscat, creating a vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere. It has an excellent road system, good hotels, restaurants, shops, leisure and sports facilities, museums, parks and the city is exceptionally clean.

Muscat is also the home of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, and his magnificent palace 'Al Alam', is flanked by the majestic forts of Jalali and Mirani, outstanding landmarks of the past.

The natural beauty and strategic location of the harbour, sheltered by the mountains on three sides, is fascinating.

The bustling modern port of Muttrah is the busiest harbour in the Muscat region. The Fish Souq and Souq Al Dhalam – "Souq of Shades" - provide a true Arabian experience.



Muscat is described as the "jewel of Arabia" – where one will experience all the delights of Arabia.
