Muscatについて
Muscat is Oman's low-rise capital, tucked between the Al Hajar mountains and the Gulf of Oman — a whitewashed city of Portuguese forts, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, souks in Mutrah and calm beaches at Al Bustan and The Chedi. It's the most understated Gulf capital: no skyscrapers, deep hospitality tradition, and easy access to Nizwa, Jebel Akhdar and the Musandam fjords.
