Situated on the northeast coast of Oman, Muscat is the capital city and the largest metropolitan city in the country. The only ferry route departing from Muscat is to Khasab, a six hour crossing that runs just once per week. Unlike many portal cities residing in Asia, Muscat has maintained its traditional values; all buildings are required to portray an Arabic feel to protect the city’s rich cultural and religious heritage. Tourists visiting for the first time are generally appreciative of the prestigious buildings, especially the remarkable colour and architecture of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which should be placed firmly at the top of the itinerary of any visitor. For an added touch of culture, the Bait Al Zubair Museum provides a fascinating insight into the history of the country. However, the architectural structures don’t all resemble archaic buildings, the Royal Opera House is a tantalising blend of traditional and modern ideas. For those who may not have such a taste for culture and history, there is plenty to do elsewhere: many spots along the coastline are perfect for dolphin watching, and the mountainous terrain is a hiker’s dream. After a day of sightseeing and hiking, the seafood served at many of the restaurants is regarded as the freshest in the Gulf of Oman. The rich array of flavours and aromas ensure that many visitors return for a second visit. Public transport is lacking around Muscat, so taxis or rental cars are the best way to get around the city. Rental companies can be found in the heart of the city, though there is some confusion around the validity of international driving licenses, so it is best to check with the rental company itself.
Found right on the northern coast of Oman, Khasab Port is located around 300 miles away from the capital city of Oman. The fjord-like craggy inlets and desolate mountains have provoked Khasab to be dubbed the ‘Norway of Arabia’ although the rugged coastline and warm climate provide more of a middle eastern touch. For many years the port was the central point for transport; the city was isolated from the rest of the region due to its distance from the other cities and the lack of infrastructure for cars and trains. Recently, however, the city has realised the necessity to make itself more accessible, slowly becoming more tourism focused. The city still holds strong religious traditions, so the restaurants and cafes around the port area will only serve authentic local cuisine and will usually only be occupied my single men. After the hectic lifestyle belonging to Muscat and Dubai, Khasab offers the opportunity for a peaceful break around the shoreline. The port only offers ferry routes to other ports around Oman, including crossings to Muscat, Shinas and Dibba. The sailings are fairly infrequent and can vary from season to season, so it is advisable to check for live updates.
