On your exclusive shore event in Muscat today enjoy an introduction to Oman’s capital, the country’s political, economic and commercial hub. An exciting mix of medieval, traditional and modern architecture and culture lends Muscat an ambience all its own. Your tour begins as you drive to the old city of Muscat where you can admire the Grand Mosque, the most exquisite Mosque in Oman. The idea was for the Grand Mosque to be the major central place of worship in the Sultanate as well as a center for the propagation of Islamic religion, civilization, literature and culture. From the Grand Mosque drive to Intercontinental Hotel where you will be provided with light refreshments. Next visit the colorful Muttrah Souq, one of the most popular Souqs in the Middle East. This covered labyrinthine market still plays an important part in Muscat's everyday life. Following your free time for shopping in the Souq, continue your tour at Bait Al Zubair Museum which houses a concise collection reflecting the splendid Omani Heritage. Built in 1914 by Sheikh Al Zubair bin Ali, it was opened as a museum in 1998 by his son Mohammed Al Zubair. Following your visit of the museum, make your way back to the port with a photo stop en-route at off at Al Alam palace.
