The Muttrah Souq is perhaps one of the oldest marketplaces in the Arab world. It is located adjacent to the harbour of Muscat harbor and has seen immense trade in the age of sail, being strategically located on the way to India and China.
A walled city until the 1970s, Old Muscat is the official capital of Oman. Nowadays, it is a mere neighbourhood among a string of towns that form Greater Muscat. Until the British cut a road through the mountains in the 1920s, Muscat was only accessible by sea, with the rugged mountains encircling the town and forming a natural barrier. Today, Old Muscat contains the administrative and military establishments of the government and few residents. Its architecture is a mix of old and new, including many of the city's prime tourist attractions such as the 16th century Portuguese forts, old mansions-turned-museums, and the 1970s royal palace
I really don't like taking people pictures, as I hate to offend someone. In the port of Muscat was a high platform that provided a sweeping view over the port....I weakened and took this lady's photo.

Picture of my Muscat trip 2010 in Oman // Bild meiner Maskat-Reise 2010 im Oman
De skyline van de haven van Muscat wordt overheerst door een enorme wierookbrander/uitkijktoren. Deze toren is gebouwd ter gelegenheid van de 20ste verjaardag van de natie Oman.
Riyam roundabout, Riyam park and the white incense burner looking like structure is called the Riyam Park Monument.
This is desert/ mountain area and it's hot all year so they have sprinklers everywhere to keep this green. Also lots of garden personnel to keep it looking nice.
Muscat is the capital of Oman, the home of Sultan Qaboos Bin Said (whose residence can be seen with the blue decorated pillars) and also the British Embassy (the large building with the turrets).
This photo was taken just as we were leaving Oman and the sun was setting on the city.
An important trading part between the West and East and ruled by various powers including Persians, the Portuguese and the Ottomans.
Muscat in Arabic translates roughly as "hidden" which is easy to see why with the mountain surrounding the whole city.
