Hotels in Muscat

Muscat is the capital city of Oman, stretching along the Gulf of Oman on the country's northern coast. The city spreads between the rugged Al Hajar Mountains and the sea, encompassing a string of coastal towns and districts rather than a single dense core. Travellers staying here find themselves near the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the region, and the Royal Opera House, a major venue for arts and culture. The old waterfront area of Muttrah features a traditional souk where vendors sell frankincense, textiles, and silver jewellery, while the nearby harbour still sees wooden dhows coming and going. The historic district of Old Muscat, enclosed by city walls, holds the Sultan's palace and several museums. Beyond the urban area, desert landscapes and wadis with seasonal watercourses lie within reach, as do turtle nesting beaches along the eastern coastline. The climate is hot and dry for much of the year, with humidity rising during summer months.
