In Muscat, the regal and grandiose Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, adorned with exquisite chandeliers and the world’s largest handmade Persian rug, awaits your audience. In the vibrant Muttrah Souq, even the air takes on a sweet aura because of the spices and frankincense sold there. Step into the stretch of land of undulating sand dunes where the golden mounds reach for the cerulean skies in Wahiba Sands, or relax in the tranquil beauty of Wadi Bani Khalid in crystal pools under date palms.
Discover the spicy and herbaceous mixtures of fish, poultry, meat, and vegetables with a side of rice. With kebabs, kahwas, laban, and halwa, make sure to touch the spicy, bitter, sour, and sweet notes of the culinary medley.
