3. Muscat

Stay

About the city: Muscat is the capital of Oman and the country's largest city. Muscat as a city has played a prominent historical role due to its strategic location. Perhaps what is striking about Muscat Governorate and its states is the breathtaking intermingling of ancient cultural heritage and modern style. You will see houses, gates, old markets, small shops, and winding roads redolent of authentic history, side by side with modern markets, shops, buildings, and streets stamped with modern architecture. This allows Oman to preserve its historic character, and at the same time enjoying its contemporary spirit. Muscat is renowned as one of the cleanest Arab capitals, and has gained the honor of winning the Cleanest Arab City Contest several consecutive times.

Stay

About the city: Shalala, the capital of the Dhofar region. It's a colorful, subtropical city that owes much of its character to the ancient territories of Oman in the east of Africa. Throughout the year, beaches and banana plantations, papayas and coconuts of Salalah offer a taste of Zanzibar in the heart of the Arabian Desert. There is a new large port that has brought wealth to the city and is now a must-see among cruise passengers. Local attractions are the beach of Shalala, the tomb of Nabi Ayoub or aboos sultan mosque whose architectural beauty is worth admiring. It is certainly a great place to visit and enjoy nature and all that awaits secret place.
