🗓 Full Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Muscat – City Tour
Meet your guide at Muscat International Airport after luggage and customs, then transfer to the hotel. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is one of the most significant architectural masterpieces of the Sultanate, beautifully combining tradition and modernity. Construction began in 1995 and took six years. Built from marble, sandstone, and wood, it features a large central minaret and four smaller ones symbolizing the five pillars of Islam. Inside, you will find massive chandeliers, colorful stained-glass windows, and beautiful tile work. After visiting the mosque, we continue to the old town to explore Bait Al Zubair Museum, the outside of the Sultan’s palace, and the Portuguese forts built in the 16th century. We proceed to Muttrah, where we take a short seaside walk and visit the famous Muttrah Souq — the country’s most important market known for Omani silver, daggers (khanjar), pashmina scarves, and handmade crafts.
