Muscat, the capital of Oman, offers a mix of historic and natural sights, including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Mutrah Souq, and the Royal Opera House, along with nearby beaches and rugged mountains. The local currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), which is strong against most other currencies, making prices relatively high compared to other Middle Eastern destinations. Weather is hot and dry for most of the year, with mild winters and extreme summer heat, especially from May to September.
