Shatti Al Qurum, or Al Qurum Beach, is located on the northern coast of Muscat. It is famous for its crystal turquoise waters and beautiful golden sands. A walk on the beach during sunrise or sunset is an absolutely charming experience.

The Royal Opera House in Muscat is the main venue for musical arts and culture in Oman. It offers local and international shows. The building itself is unique, and is an absolute architectural beauty.
Been all arty today and caught reflections in the marble outside the Royal Opera House. Beautiful grounds and immaculately clean! ☀️ . #travellingduo

The beaches of Muscat come with clear waters, golden sand, and amazing sea creatures. Every visitor to Oman should enjoy snorkeling, diving, or a boat trip from Muscat.

This is not just another hotel; it is one of the best, and reflects Omani architecture, culture and hospitality. Besides the high-quality service and the marvelous views, the hotel itself adds to the city’s beauty.

Oman has a unique culture and a rich history, both of which are on display at its magnificent forts and castles. Find the Al Jalali and Al Mirani castles in Muscat.

Long walks on Muttrah Corniche are a unique experience. Between the crystal waters of the gulf and the authentic and traditional buildings of Muttrah, the Corniche is one of the must-go places in Muscat.

Al Alam Palace is the ceremonial palace of Sultan Qaboos, located in Old Muscat. It is one of the most famous landmarks of the city, and an architectural beauty.
Muscat is difficult to explore because of its size – a huge city hemmed in by mountains and the sea on its northern and southern ends, making its various constituent towns tens of kilometres apart – and its limited public transport options. I spent a fortune to get to old Muscat, where the city began and where the Al Alam Palace now resides with two Portuguese forts flanking its left and right. The National Museum of Oman at the opposite end of the palace is also pretty, though I didn’t go in as it was closed. #oman #muscat #alalampalace #palace #fort #selfie #architecture #nofilter
