On this half-day tour, experience the sights and sounds of Oman, and learn about its rich heritage. The fun starts when you meet your guide at the wharf for a drive to the Muttrah Souk. Stroll through the winding alleys stopping to bargain with the traders for exotic spices, silverware, Omani clothing and handicrafts. En route, drive past the Al Alam Palace, the official residence of Sultan Qaboos al Said, a blend of modern and classic Islamic architecture. After visiting Bait al Zubair museum, which is home to a collection of weaponry, you will tour the Bait Adam Museum. Located in a private residence, this small family museum chronicles Omani life and history, with a collection of family memorabilia that includes firearms, jewelry and art. Finally, meet the family who own the museum, and enjoy Arabian coffee and dates, as you learn more about life in Oman today.

Special Notes:

Dress conservatively. Clothing should cover the neck, arms and legs. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
