Tour of the Muscat Royal Opera House

A tranquil sanctuary on a glorious stretch of sandy beach, backed by the Hajar Mountains and overlooking the Gulf of Oman, head to Jumeriah Muscat Bay for upscale accommodation, spectacular scenery, superb dining, and a wide range of leisure facilities.

Al Bustan Palace is a sophisticated and luxurious 250-room hotel, which is set on a stunning stretch of coastline with a dramatic mountain backdrop. It is situated just 30 kilometers from Muscat so is well placed for exploring the city.

Exclusively located on the bay at Barr Al Jissah, the Shangri-La nestles against the dramatic backdrop of the rugged interior mountains and the spectacular waters of the Gulf of Oman. The resort consists of two hotels: Al Waha and Al Bandar.

The Chedi Muscat is a chic minimalist retreat situated on the Indian Ocean in Muscat, and backed by stunning mountains. The Chedi Muscat's serene atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying one of the four pools and beautiful landscaped gardens.

The long-awaited National Museum is in the heart of Old Muscat, close to the Sultan's Palace. The museum aims to preserve and promote the Omani culture by showcasing the country's rich history.

Muscat offers a unique opportunity to witness a modern commercial center existing in harmony with its traditional culture.

North of Muscat, off-shore from the town of Barka are the Damaniyat Islands. These are one of Oman's best dive spots but are equally good for a snorkel or swim in beautiful surroundings.

A wonderfully exclusive experience; spend the day exploring the Oman coastline, including dolphin watching, snorkeling and a private beach BBQ in a picturesque setting.
