A visit to the imposing Sultan Quabus Mosque, named after the long-time ruler Sultan Quabus bin Said, is a must when visiting the capital.
Sultan Quabus (deceased in 2020) has been able to develop Oman into a more modern and prosperous state over the last 40 years.

The Sultanate is still an insider tip among lovers of the Orient. Although the country has developed a lot in terms of tourism in recent years, there is no mass tourism here. You can look forward to very open and friendly encounters with the locals and experience the traditional culture of the country. The Omanis are wonderful hosts who greet every guest with a traditional heartfelt greeting.
Due to the diversity of the country, a round trip through the imposing mountains and along the desert landscapes is ideal. And to top it all off, treat yourself to a beach vacation on one of the great beaches in the south of the country.
The fragrance from Oman.
A luxurious souvenir from Muscat would be a fine fragrance from the perfume house “Amouage”.
Oman is known for its frankincense and myrrh, amber and rock rose. The success story of the luxury perfumery house began in 1983, when the then ruling Sultan Qabus bin Said gave the order to revive the perfume culture of Oman. The name “Amouage” is made up of the Arabic “amwaj”, meaning wave, and the French word “amour”, meaning love.
The perfume house offers over 50 different fragrance creations – from fruity and floral to spicy.
If you like to be surrounded by special scents, you should visit the luxury perfume house “Amouage” on your trip to the capital Mascat.
Muscat – the pearl on the Gulf of Oman.
La Esplora hotel tip:
Jumeirah Muscat Bay Hotel – the new luxury hotel of the Jumeirah hotel chain, which will only open in 2022, is just a 40-minute drive from Muscat Airport. It is the first hotel of the Jumeirah Group in Oman.
Nestled between the country’s rugged mountain massif and the Gulf of Oman, the luxury hotel offers a peaceful place to relax.
From there, you can book wonderful boat trips directly from the hotel’s own jetty.
On a boat trip, you can look forward to marveling at hundreds of dolphins jumping, watching turtles in the water and discovering many fish while snorkeling underwater.
