Our verdict
Muscat, capital of the Sultanate of Oman on the Gulf of Oman: 1.4 million inhabitants in the urban area. Reputed to be one of the most discreet and preserved Arab capitals (strict architecture respecting traditional heritage: no skyscrapers, mandatory white-beige paint on all buildings, no gaudy advertising panels).
Plan your trip
Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
