Guest Solent Richard Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Almost eleven months ago while cruising on board Oceania Nautica we made a scheduled call to the port of Muscat. With the forthcoming World Cruise season not too far away many UK based ships will be calling at this rather unique port on the Arabian Peninsular. To enlighten any readers as to just what to expect and what can be achieved in a day's visit here are a few offerings... A full review can be found at my cruise blog.... https://solentrichardscruiseblog.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/one-way-to-do-muscat/ Please feel free to ask any questions either openly or by Private Message.

Guest 132LK132 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Fabulous pics and review. I now have an opinion that Muscat is a small town rather than a large capital city - am I correct in stating this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I now have an opinion that Muscat is a small town rather than a large capital city - am I correct in stating this? Good morning LK. I think you will find that Muscat is really a fair sized metropolitan city - some 580 square miles. It has a of around 1,16 million spread over 6 provinces. My review covered three distinct areas: Mutrah (the port area), The old Town and the more modern district of Al Ghubrah South where the Grand Mosque is (Some 20 minute drive from Mutrah) So quite a large place.

Tally 390 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was very impressed with Muscat it's probably one of the cleanest places in the World. The excursion we chose was the Mystical Dhow Cruise which provided plenty of photo opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tally 390 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Richard I must say you do take excellent photographs you could almost be there Ron I do agree. Even if my attempts at photography were works of art (they're not ) I wouldn't have a clue how to put them on the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pesky Pirate 166 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Perhaps Bolsover could have a lecture page on the site telling us how to do things….. I shall ask…. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
