Sandwiched between sea and dramatic mountain range, Muscat is scattered along a golden sandy coastline, and is well worth exploring, with its Grand Mosque and opulent Sultan’s Palace.
Test out your haggling skills in the souks of Muttrah and explore Old Muscat along the seafront, which is dotted with ancient Portuguese forts and colourful mosques, before resting up in one of the impeccably luxurious hotels - we love The Chedi for its chic and minimalist interiors and magnificent beachside setting.
