Best areas

For budget options, look to Ruwi, the commercial hub. Al Khuwair offers a mix of hotels and is close to the beach. Shatti Al Qurum is a more upscale area with beachfront resorts.

Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally higher during the cooler months (October to April). You might find better deals during the hot summer months, but be prepared for the heat. Book in advance, especially if traveling during peak season.

Food to try

Try shuwa, slow-cooked marinated lamb or goat, often served during special occasions. Visit a local fish market for grilled seafood. Don't miss Omani halwa, a sweet treat flavored with cardamom and rosewater.

Getting around

Taxis are readily available, but agree on a fare beforehand. App-based ride services like Careem also operate in Muscat. Consider renting a car for exploring outside the city, as public transportation is limited.
