Information Point

Muscat is a vast, spread-out city, and what you’re discovering here is only one part of it. On this side are several key places, including Muttrah Mosque and the souk, the fish market and the Lawatiya houses. About two kilometres away, on the other side, lies another major area of the city, notably home to the Royal Palace. The road connecting these two zones follows the coastline, where you’ll still encounter a few points of interest, traces of Muscat’s past, Riyam Park and its large iconic monument, but the main sights are clearly concentrated in these two separate hubs. The choice is yours: you can walk the entire distance if you feel motivated, or this may be the right moment to head back to your car or choose another means of transport to reach the other part of the city.
