Overview
Port Sultan Qaboos, located in the Mutrah district of Muscat, is Oman’s primary cruise terminal and a key stop on Arabian Gulf itineraries. The port features four berths and modern facilities, with free shuttle buses transporting passengers to nearby attractions like the Mutrah Souq and Corniche. Muscat itself is a captivating blend of ancient tradition and modern refinement, offering visitors a peaceful and authentic Middle Eastern experience.
Unlike its glitzier Gulf neighbors, Muscat charms with its whitewashed buildings, dramatic mountain backdrop, and deep cultural roots. From majestic mosques to bustling markets and serene beaches, the city invites exploration and reflection. Cruise passengers can easily spend a full day discovering its highlights, with taxis and local buses available for independent touring.
Marvel at one of the largest mosques in the Middle East, featuring a massive chandelier and handwoven carpet.

Tip: Haggle respectfully and bring cash for small purchases.

Tip: Stop at the fish market for a glimpse of local life.
