1. Mutrah Souq

Nestled in Muscat’s romantic and ancient Old Port, Murtrah Souq is the one of the oldest around. It’s best visited at sunset – as the prayer calls sing out throughout purple night skies, you and your sweetheart can meander hand in hand through this truly Oman experience. 

This enticing souq is full of colour, scents and sounds, a total feast for the senses. Colourful pashminas drape over stalls, while wooden carvings and hand-painted ceramics can be purchased as the perfect memory of your romantic visit to Oman. Inhale the exotic scents of frankincense which float around the labyrinth-esque alleyways, and exchange a friendly hello or two with the souq’s easygoing merchants and vendors. No wonder this souq is Oman’s pride and joy!
