Muscat Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

No more hiding! Oman, this less-known visa-free country, is a must-visit!

Dubai is fun, but you can't play for a long time just for it, so be sure to go to Abu Dhabi and Oman, both are visa-free countries, and it's super cool to play. . 🌏First, where is Oman? Oman is located on the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by the United Arab Emirates to the northwest, Yemen to the south, Saudi Arabia to the west, and the Arabian Sea to the entire east. Compared to the oil-rich countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Oman is as low-key as an infp. The public security here is also good, and the country is stable without any wars, it is a country worth traveling. . ✈Transportation: At present, there is no direct flight in China, usually transfer in Dubai, so you can fly to Dubai first, then go to Abu Dhabi, and then fly to Oman from Abu Dhabi. It is said that you can take a bus to Oman from Dubai, but the operation is more troublesome to buy tickets on site, so this method is not recommended, it's too troublesome. . ✅Recommended attractions: 📍Mutrah fort night view Mutrah fort is really recommended to go up and order a cup of coffee at sunset, you can overlook the bay and the whole city, it is a high point in the city, the ticket is 2 rials. 📍Bahla Fort It is said to be the largest fortress in Oman, you can see many repair traces, after all, it is a long time ago building. About 20 kilometers from Nizwa Fortress 📍Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque It is the largest mosque in Oman and the third largest mosque in the world. Free admission, but it seems to be closed on Fridays, everyone can understand in advance, you need to wear long sleeves and trousers to go in, ladies also need to wear a headscarf! 📍Royal Opera House Closes at 15 o'clock, the ticket is 3 rials, friends who are interested in opera art must come here to see 📍Market Mutrah Souq Here you can find a lot of interesting local specialties, remember to bargain! 📍Nizwa Castle Oman is known as the country of a thousand fortresses, and Nizwa Castle is the oldest fortress in Oman. The best shooting time is after 4 o'clock, it won't be very hot, but the light is soft, easy to film, and you can see the super beautiful sunset. . ⚠Travel tips: 1, Remember to prepare a plug converter 2, It is recommended to find a larger exchange point to exchange currency, airport exchange is not cost-effective 3, The phone card can be bought at the airport 4, If conditions permit, it is recommended to drive by yourself, car rental and fuel costs are not very expensive, navigation can use Google

Our Romantic Pink Castle Getaway

Travelled to Oman Muscat for a relaxing weekend getaway at Shangri-La Al Husn Resort and Spa. This beautiful pink sanctuary served as the destination for my girlfriend’s birthday this year. The hotel staff worked exceptionally well with coordinating with me on the special occasion. I am delighted to say that between the beautiful picturesque landscapes and all the package inclusions the resort left us wanting to come back again for more. #timetotravel #romanticgetaway #staycation #oman

Shangri-La Al Husn, Muscat

#thingstodo I would give the service 6 stars if I could! From the beginning to the end, every single member of staff, without exception, were amazing, pleasant, friendly and helpful. We are already planning our next visit. The pros : secluded and peaceful location, ideal for spending a few days relaxing. Surrounded by mountains and even the beach is located between beautiful cliffs. Well appointed and spacious rooms with nice views. Generally good service. Excellent spa. The cons : the drawback of the isolated location is that you are limited to the restaurants of the resort. Al Husn guests can also use the restaurant of the sister property Food was amazing as usual, and the facilities and rooms were also to a very high standard. They also have a pillow menu and will soften the mattress with a topper if requested. We were there over Christmas and New year. The preparations were excellent and the festivities very good! We did only one tour (this time) to see the turtles, which was amazing. A big thanks to Miracle Tours Oman for organising (again) a wonderful vacation! Many more photos but I think that this is a good sample.
