Seeing it all.
Our second day in Muscat we took a taxi over to the old part of town, aptly named: Old Muscat. Our first stop was the Muscat Gate Museum. (I hope you weren’t overwhelmed by that Wiki entry.) The museum is located inside the gate and features a ton of information typed up on large posters. We didn’t stay too long.
Next we walked over to the Bait Al Zubair Musuem which was much more interesting, and crowded. The displays featured a lot of weaponry, traditional clothing, and a miniature version of a village. Outside the Oryx Caravan was on display.
After the museums, we zipped over to the Palace. Not a bad place to live, I suspect.
Having seen nearly all the tourist attractions, we were ready to overpay to visit the beach.
Although the price was steep, we didn’t complain too much considering the beautiful views.
The rest of our trip was spent sitting and chatting at a broken fountain and making our way to the airport.
