Insider Tips

  • 1

    Qurum Natural Park early morning is one of Muscat's most pleasant experiences — the park is exceptionally well-maintained and joggers, families, and birdsong fill the paths from sunrise.

  • 2

    The Fish Market at Muttrah — just east of Qurum — opens at dawn and is one of the Arabian Peninsula's finest for variety and freshness; the daily tuna auction is extraordinary.

  • 3

    Kargeen Caffe near Qurum is one of Muscat's most beloved traditional restaurants — Omani breakfasts of khubz and honey under the palm fronds are magnificent.
