A must-see for lovers of architecture and culture.

Royal Opera House Muscat
We then head to the Royal Opera House Muscat, a symbol of Oman's modern cultural renaissance, inspired by the late Sultan Qaboos’ passion for music and arts. Be captivated by the exquisite interiors and gain insights from our expert guide on the history and significance of this architectural marvel. Take a leisurely stroll through the Opera Galleria, home to luxury boutiques and international cafés.

Later, dive into the vibrant Mutrah Souq, one of the oldest marketplaces in Oman. Here, you can shop for authentic souvenirs, handicrafts, frankincense, perfumes, silver jewelry, and more, as you take in the delightful sights and sounds of a traditional Omani bazaar.
Al Alam Palace & Portuguese Forts
Our final stop brings us to the magnificent Al Alam Palace, the ceremonial palace of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tariq, framed by the 17th-century Portuguese forts, Al Jalali and Al Mirani. Although the palace is not open to visitors, the beautifully manicured gardens and the grand façade offer perfect photo opportunities and a fitting end to our cultural journey.
