What To Expect

The tour begins with a visit to the beautiful Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the Middle East, and the only mosque open to non-Muslims and expatriates in Muscat. After that, you’ll pass through the Ministry District and have a photo stop at the Royal Opera House. Then, you’ll arrive at the picturesque Muttrah Corniche and you’ll visit Muttrah Souq which retains the chaotic interest of a traditional Arab market albeit housed under modern timber roofing. Finally, you reach Qantab and enter the Capital Area of Yacht Club where the guide will provide you the picnic lunch box and mineral bottles of water and let you freely enjoy the time at the private beach with crystalline blue water. At the decided time, your driver will come to pick you up and bring you to your hotel/selected destination in Muscat.
