One of the most beautiful cities on the Arabian Peninsula is rightly considered the port of Muscat-the capital of Oman, located at the foot of the mountains deep within a bay. It captivates with its amazing atmosphere, born from the combination of rocky mountains, a picturesque bay, narrow streets, and ancient buildings. Oman is the oldest independent state in the Arab world.
Muscat stretches for 200 km along the coast. It is divided into 5 districts: Al Muthrah, Bausher, Seeb, Al Amerat, and Qurayyat. Muscat in translation means “the place of falling.” The point is that the rocks here drop steeply down to the sea, enclosing the city on all sides with a natural wall-fortress. Muscat is a true oasis created by human hands, because in Oman there are practically no rivers or lakes-many desalination plants take care of their work.
Climate
Muscat is one of the hottest cities in the world. The average summer temperature is over +34 C, while in winter it is about +26 C. The best time to visit is from September to April.
