5.00Highly recommended. A fabulous half-day introduction to the fascinating city of Muscat, old and new, visiting all of the guide books’ “must-see” Muscat sights and also giving us our bearings to return to those that we didn’t have the time to stop at today, such as the museums. We felt very fortunate to have had Nasser as our wonderfully knowledgeable driver and guide, who was such a generous host and ambassador for both his lovely country and his home city. A fabulous morning, thank you!
