Places to visit in Muscat

Julie

Hi,

For the ones living in Muscat, what would you suggest to discover the region?

When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Muscat, the tourist sites?

How to visit the region in an original way? Any unusual or unknown place to recommend?

What would you suggest for a couple of days or for a week of holidays in Muscat?

Thank you in advance for participating ;)

I think someone should reply to this, maybe someone from the Team in Muscat. It would help really.

Al Nahda Spa & Resort...anyone here stayed at this place as I have just had the worst experience ever with their so called Therapists resulting in us checking out after one day when we had booked 3 days!

Al Nadha Resort & Spa is one of the better-known resorts near Muscat. If they are really bad, then that leaves a lot to be desired. Besides the obvious, I do not have any details.

I have only gone there for a meal, and they were mere passable - not great.

Hello All..

I'm surprised that more hasn't been said. I've been in Muscat for two months thus far, and would say the following are options to consider:

1. Mutra SouQ (apologies for any misspelled words)
2. Royal Opera House
3. Fun Zone - Ice skating & bowling
4. MGM - Muscat Grand Mall
5. ODC - Oman Dive Centre for both diving and sun bathing (note that it's a bikini beach resort)
6. GO Karting - Near Muscat Airport, the track is 1.2 KM long.
7. Kargeen Restaurant - Amazing decor. Also, If you like shisha, they offer that there.
8. Qurum Beach - they have jet skis
9. Cinema in Shatti Qurum
10. Crown Plaza Hotel - they have a few places to eat inside the hotel. Also, you can use their pool, gym and private beach for a small fee.

Hope this provides so useful insight from a novice travelers perspective.

You're most welcome.

They're only some of the places I've visited, but I'll say there is much more than that to offer. I'd suggest visiting trip advisor also for ideas.

1. Sink hole
2. Wadhi Sheb
3. Jebal Akhdar

Let us know when you land, and if there's any local info that you need, don't be a stranger.

Regards,
