Very friendly staff and location for chilling by the beach and pool. If you are into acrivities then diving a must at the Daymanyit Islands. Food I would say it’s lowest point although ok, lacked variety.

People friendly, usually not talkative. Emigrants, even friendlier. Taxi drivers charge more than usual for tourists/visitors. Many, many varieties for food places, different cousines. Barging/haggling is a common thing for small shops. Pretty safe.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I had not been to Muscat for 17 years and was thrilled to see that it has maintained it’s peaceful, calm, stress-free air about it. The quality of life seems so very high and it’s somewhere that I could easily live if given the chance.
