For centuries, Muscat has looked to the sea. Its natural harbour connected Oman with trading routes stretching across Arabia, East Africa and India, shaping a city where cultures, craftsmanship and traditions have long met.
Today, traces of this history remain woven into the capital, from its old forts and traditional souqs to the whitewashed architecture set between the Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman. It is this enduring relationship between landscape, heritage and exchange that gives Muscat its distinctive character.
