Muscat Oman-Different And Fascinating

Muscat is only a short flight from Dubai and a totally different world and unlike most other Middle Eastern cities visited. With the Arabian Sea to the east ,Saudi Arabia is to its west, Emirates to the north and Yemen in the south and it appeared very different to all its neighbours.The place was quite amazing and very beautiful and a complete surprise.

Muscat is serviced by a modern International airport some 35 KM from Muscat on well made roads. The city was extremely well maintained, neat and picturesque with the Western Al Hajar Mountains dominating the scenery with their bare craggy peaks.The two was well laid out and neat and clean and appeared quite safe. The accommodation options rage from the Ritz Carlton (elaborate) to more modest accommodation. For accommodation options use this LINK.
