Rank : 7.5 (average on 2 votes)

Subjects : The Grand Mosque (the only mosque open to non-Muslims), the Mutrah Corniche (beautiful promenade), the fish market, the souk of Mutrah. And 'possible to photograph people on request. Women do not like the photos and it is better not to insist.

Recommended equipment : From wide-angle to telephoto (24-200)

Best months : From November to March. In summer temperatures and humidity make the trip impossible. It 'obvious that in this period, which coincides with the low season, you find accommodation cheaper price, but not worth it.

How to get there : By plane. Several companies serving the airport Omani and some, such as Oman Air, operate direct flights between Muscat and Malpensa.

Visits : The entrance to the Grand Mosque is free. Currently the time for visits goes from 8:00 to 11:00 every day except Fridays.

Notes : We are guests of a Muslim country that is open to tourism a few years ago. We must respect their customs and traditions. Do not take photos without asking permission. Clothing should be appropriate to their fees when visiting sacred places such as mosques. Surely ladies strolling with miniskirts and skimpy clothes inguinal are not welcomed. As well as the gentlemen who think of going into the holy places in shorts and tank top. Bathe in bikinis will surely looks as it is not their custom "undress" for swimming. Even many men are swimming in shorts and tank top / shirt. Having said that Muscat is very pleasant and safe, the people are friendly and hospitable.
