Activity itinerary

Muscat Governorate (Pass by)

When crossing the ledge, it is very difficult for us to look away from this succession of houses to the right of the mosque and its blue dome. Delicately erected facing the sea, these beautiful whitewashed houses recognisable by their wrought balconies are among the oldest in the country.

Place & People Museum (Pass by)

Discovering a new destination is a whole package. We decided to soak up the culture, acclimatise to the dominant environment, but above all to commune and familiarise with the locals.

Muscat Governorate (Pass by)

Sliding between a sea of sand and the Indian Ocean, the Sultanate of Oman is a hidden treasure of the Middle East that is becoming increasingly known to the general public. Proof that you didn’t get here by pure chance!

Riyam Park (Pass by)

Located on a hill overlooking the Muttrah Corniche, Riyam Park is a popular meeting point in Muscat. To go there is to fill an urgent need for tranquility, nature and certainly freshness.

Hay Al-Ward Park (Pass by)

Like a balcony of greenery overlooking the Arabian Sea, Kalbuh Park, right in front of you, is one of the favourite places to live for Omani families. Whether you arrive from Muttrah’s ledge or the opposite of old Muscat, this charming place catches us at any time of the day.

Muscat Gate Museum (Pass by)

The Muscat gate museum is a must-see crossing point on the city’s most important highway. If the capital of Oman has been fortified in the past, this majestic arch is by no means a trace of it.

Bab Al Mathaib Street (Pass by)

In addition to the two side-by-side forts on the waterfront, both restored in 1979 at the request of Sultan Qabus, the old Muscat lists other fortifications, which are also preciously preserved. You have a very good example of this right before your eyes.

Al Mirani Fort (Pass by)

At your fingertips, on your left, reveals the imposing silhouette of Fort Al Mirani. Its construction dates back to the 16th century when Portuguese settlers made Muscat their gateway to triumph on the road to India.

Al Jalali Fort (Pass by)

Comfortably located on the water’s edge, you should normally see, on the opposite bank, a rocky mass overlooked by an imposing structure. In Muscat, it is impossible to ignore Al Jalali Fort and its neighbour, Al Mirani Fort, which both flank the royal palace.

Omani and French Museum (Pass by)

If more than 7000 km separate Hexagon from the Sultanate of Oman, the two territories are not alien to each other. And this address is proof of that.

Al Alam Palace (Pass by)

The Royal Palace of Muscat, also known as Al Alam Palace, has been one of the treasures of the old town since 1972. As its name suggests, this resplendent building is the official and non-usual residence of the Sultan of Oman.

The National Museum - Sultanate of Oman (Pass by)

Proudly erected at the end of the esplanade it shares with the Royal Palace of Muscat, the National Museum of Oman gives us the effect of a slight slap of elegance and a sober majesty.

Bait Al Zubair Museum (Pass by)

In order to preserve its heritage and pass on its history chapters to future generations and visitors, Muscat can count on its many museums. If the building in front of you is one of the most visited cultural addresses in the city, nothing meant for it.

Muscat Governorate (Pass by)

On the shores of the Gulf of Oman, Muscat has the particularity of being a very spread city. It is customary for visiting visitors to choose a car hire to facilitate their travel.

Muscat Governorate (Pass by)

It is at the bend of this hiking trail that you get right now one of the most beautiful views of the city. Protected practically on all sides by mountains, the old Muscat stretches into your field of vision.

Muscat Governorate (Pass by)

In Muscat, there is the blue of the water, the white of the dwellings and especially this dominance of chestnut in the backdrop. Like the saying “to live happily, let’s live in hiding”, Muscat is nestled in the heart of a rich geographical area with to its north the entire western part of the Al Hajar Mountains.

Mutrah (Pass by)

Travelling to Oman is to expect to cross paths with forts and castles more than once, like the one that stands high in front of you.

Mutrah Souq (Pass by)

Addresses emblematic of authentic and centuries-old traditions, the souks of Oman alone bring together all the richness of local culture.

Mutrah (Pass by)

Cradled at the same time by the hustle and bustle of the cornice and the souk, the Muttrah mosque is the appeasement bracket in the area.

Bait Al-Baranda (Pass by)

Cultural and historical reference, this pretty house of 1930 welcomes you in a traditional Omani architecture marked by the mixture of white stone and wood.

Muttrah (Pass by)

With territorial waters known to be quite fishy, it would have been a shame to deprive yourself of a place like this in the captivating capital of Oman. Unsurprisingly located at the entrance to the harbour, the Fish Point of Sale maintains the commercial fishing traditions in the area while maintaining tourist activity.

Mutrah Corniche (Pass by)

Spread over about 10 km, the Muttrah Corniche is the perfect place to stroll in Muscat and take in a single look at the entire seafront. At this precise location, really privileged by the way, you face more than one emblematic figure of the city.
