Places to visit in Muscat

I think someone should reply to this, maybe someone from the Team in Muscat. It would help really.

Al Nahda Spa & Resort...anyone here stayed at this place as I have just had the worst experience ever with their so called Therapists resulting in us checking out after one day when we had booked 3 days!

Al Nadha Resort & Spa is one of the better-known resorts near Muscat. If they are really bad, then that leaves a lot to be desired. Besides the obvious, I do not have any details.

I have only gone there for a meal, and they were mere passable - not great.

Enjoy teaching at Nizwa University, its a great town.

thank you! Are you living in Nizwa?

Living in Muscat but Nizwa has some interesting stuff going on there, especially if you can drive to some of the desert camps

Sounds good! I hope I can meet friends there!

1. Beach
2. AL Sahwa Garden, Quram Garden, Riam Park.
3. Barka Zoo
4. Al Nahada Resort.

Is the Barka (So called) ZOO, or in other name, the ostrich form still open? I heared it was closed few months back ...!!

Hello All..

I'm surprised that more hasn't been said. I've been in Muscat for two months thus far, and would say the following are options to consider:

1. Mutra SouQ (apologies for any misspelled words)
2. Royal Opera House
3. Fun Zone - Ice skating & bowling
4. MGM - Muscat Grand Mall
5. ODC - Oman Dive Centre for both diving and sun bathing (note that it's a bikini beach resort)
6. GO Karting - Near Muscat Airport, the track is 1.2 KM long.
7. Kargeen Restaurant - Amazing decor. Also, If you like shisha, they offer that there.
8. Qurum Beach - they have jet skis
9. Cinema in Shatti Qurum
10. Crown Plaza Hotel - they have a few places to eat inside the hotel. Also, you can use their pool, gym and private beach for a small fee.

Hope this provides so useful insight from a novice travelers perspective.

Regards,
