Muscat enjoys a stunning setting between the Arabian Sea and the rocky Western Al Hajar Mountains. A rich and romantic canvas of low whitewashed buildings watched over by traditional dhow fishing boats bobbing in the harbor, the city is also a trove of royal and Islamic treasures. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was named for the beloved leader who has bolstered the country’s economy; a dazzling expanse of white marble, intricate wooden panels and magnificent stained glass windows. Hints of the country’s past as a Portuguese outpost can be found in Old Muscat.
