| (Big Bus hop-on hop-off city tour of Muscat) |
After our Umrah trip to the holy lands, we transited for about nine hour in Muscat, the capital city of Oman. During our half-day tour, I found Muscat city fascinating and lovely in general. The locals we met were friendly. Some local folks who could not speak English were shy but graciously charming. The scenery was spectacular and the food was delicious. It was not cheap though.
We visited several attractions around Muscat, The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, The Muttrah Souq, the Cornish and harbour and Al-Alam Palace of Sultan Qaboos before we boardedthe plane back to KL.
