Top 20 Best Things to Do in Oman - 2023

"This landmark is breathtaking. It is surrounded by a tasteful, but do mind that there's not much shade. For the climate, I recommend you to come here before it gets too hot (I visited in October, around 8am) especially to go around the mosque and take pictures. Many of the features inside, too, are impressive - like the world's second largest chandelier and handmade carpet (I was told it took them 4.5 years to make the carpet). Even though it is pulled together to look so simple and elegant, every part has something to delight you. I really enjoyed the mosaic walk along the corridors!"

"This is a very beautiful palace for the the Sultan with beautiful ground landscape, shrubs and flowers"

"Beautiful beach with very clean sands, ample parking space just beside beach side. Highly recommended for families with kids, you can play ball games, do morning and evening walk"

"The two fortresses were built by the Portuguese in the 1580s and occupy the eastern end of the seaport of Mutla. For military purposes, the Portuguese built several fortresses on geological formations and tactical positions in the ophile hills, such as Fort Jalali, Fort Minari and Fort Matra, to monitor enemy invasions. The forts are the only link between Muscat in previous years and Muscat now, and play a pivotal role in Oman's past. These forts serve as a window into important history, which helped to build and create cultures and traditions that ultimately produced the Oman we know today."

"I actually saw alpaca here. It is a luxury in China. The people inside sell a variety of livestock. It is different from the Chinese market."

"About an hour after taking off from Dubai, it arrived in Mascott, the capital of Oman. Compared with the noise, publicity, luxury and openness of Dubai, it is quiet, stable, simple and slightly conservative. The green here is much more than Dubai, indicating that the environment here is more suitable for life growth. Oman is an ancient civilization in the Arab region, although the economic development is far less than the surrounding oil exporting countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, etc., but her civilization history is far ahead."

"Musandam is a mountainous Oman Peninsula stretching out into the Strait of Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates separates from the rest of Oman. Its uneven coastline has fjord-like entrances and its waters are home to dolphins and other marine life. The sloop is a popular activity. Hayseb is the capital of the local Musandeem Peninsula, located on the south bank of the Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. It was built by the Portuguese in the 17th century on a natural port to avoid the waves. The area, also known as the "Norway of the Arabian Peninsula", is due to its rugged, glacier-like coastline, its towering mountains and clear, bright fjords."

"It is UNESCO World Heritage Site built. I took like 2 hours to discover it all, fascinating place. Politely, ask staff to guide you there, they are happily ready to give you little introduction with pamphlets. You will need to pay little fees."
