Half Day Private Tour

This half-day tour starts with a visit to the Sultan Qaboos Gran Mosque. The main chandelier of the architectural masterpiece is made of pure Swarovski crystal and the carpet adorning the large prayer hall was woven by experts, made out of pure Persian silk. The Mosque exterior is constructed with quality Rajasthani Sandstone and the main halls, as well as the smaller prayer roooms, are adorned with the finest Italian marble. The Mosque is surrounded by five minarets, each of which symbolizes the holy five vows taken by every devout Muslim to reinforce his faith.

From the Mosque, you will head to Mutrah to see the fisherman in action at the fish market followed by a walk around the traditional Souq. Next, you will head down the coast to old Muscat where you can spend some time learning about Omani history in the Beit al Zubair museum - with its display of archaeological finding and Oman national dress and jewellery. From here to the Sultan's Al Alam Palace and the historic Jalali and Mirani forts, which still guard the natural harbour.
