Flights to Muscat


Unlike some of its neighbours in the Gulf, Muscat is not massively built up or saturated with hotels and resorts. Yet the standard of hospitality here is high – nowhere more so than within the succession of beautiful beachside hotels. Surrounded by quality restaurants, beaches and high-end shopping options, it’s tempting never to venture further afield.

But to stay glued to the sunbed would mean missing out on what makes Muscat truly charming and unique: its carefully preserved history and traditions. Head for the port area of Muttrah and nearby Old Muscat, which teem with old forts from the Portuguese colonial days, and explore mosques, souks and museums. There’s a real sense of cultures coming together here, which is no surprise given the fact that Africans, Iranians, Europeans and, of course, Omanis made this alluring city their home centuries ago.

And, naturally, they came via the sea, which remains one of the biggest draws of this Omani city. These days, Muscat is a popular diving centre, both for those interested in the wrecks at Bandar Khayran and those who want to explore the marine life around the Daymaniyat Islands. If you want to keep your feet dry, dolphin-spotting trips can also be arranged.

It’s attractions like these that make flights to Muscat a top pick. Combined with a trip into Oman’s famous mountain regions, and it’s the kind of place where you could spend weeks and not get bored.

What to do in Muscat

Understand Omani history

Of all the museums in Muscat, Bait Al Zubair is the most interesting, thanks to its collection of Omani weaponry, costumes and jewellery. There’s even a recreation of an Omani village in the self-styled ‘house that became a museum’, and the house itself is also intriguing as a symbol of old Omani wealth.

Go on marine adventures

The clear waters of the Gulf of Oman are popular with divers and water sport enthusiasts. Tourists can also go on dolphin- and turtle-watching trips. The best time to see the turtles is from July to October, when more than 20,000 of them arrive to Oman’s shores to lay eggs. One hotspot is the Daymaniyat Islands, an hour out of town.

Watch a show at Royal Opera House

Muscat’s Royal Opera House, which opened in 2011, is proof that the city’s cultural output is growing by the year. Oman’s biggest and best entertainment venue, it attracts world-class performers. Add its landscaped gardens, cultural markets, high-end restaurants such as Al Angham and an arts centre, and it's a must-visit on the tourist trail.

Where to eat in Muscat

Mumtaz Mahal (Indian)

Mumtaz Mahal has been a Muscat institution for years now, offering good food and amazing views from a hilltop overlooking the city. A renovation has raised the experience to a whole new level, but the food remains a combination of classic dishes and innovative specialties. And the prices are reasonable too.

Ubhar (Omani)

For an introduction to Omani cuisine, try Ubhar. This is one of most refined places to get a taste of Omani food – check out the camel biryani. There are also Arabic and European dishes on the menu. They do takeaways too.

The Beach Pavilion (Seafood)

Very much on a par with the Beach Restaurant at Chedi Muscat, a meal here is an idyllic experience. Be sure to book a table alfresco, with the sandy location lit by torches and no sound but the gently lapping waves. Happily, the food is just as memorable.

Places to stay in Muscat

The Chedi Muscat

Set right on the beach, The Chedi Muscat is an elegant hotel with six restaurants, a Balinese spa, health club and three swimming pools. Even though it has the aura of an exclusive, secluded retreat, it's actually just a short taxi ride from the city centre.

Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa

Barr Al Jissah actually has three hotels. But for classic get-away-from-it-all luxury, go for Al Husn, where the rooms are palatial – literally – and the private beach is stunning. Its two restaurants are among the best in Muscat, and the city centre is only 15 minutes away.

Alila Jabal Akhdar, Oman

Perched on the side of a cliff in the Hajar Mountains, 2,000 metres above sea level and Alila Jabal Akhdar is certainly in a prime location. Inspired by Omani forts and built from light-coloured local stone and dark wood using traditional Omani techniques, the property eschews the gaudy trappings so often associated with luxury for a neutral colour palette and an elegant, minimalist design aesthetic, which, combined with the surroundings, creates a sense of serenity Read more Alila Jabal Akhdar, Oman
