Muscat is a nice small city nestled between the mountains and sea, capital of the Sultanate of Oman. I visited here in winter 2015 and also explore some historic fortress areas outside the city as you will see below.

This is the nice seaside resort we stayed at (by Hyatt):

A variety of scenes from driving around the city and its major landmarks

Visiting one of the major mosques in town

Visiting the historic Nizwa Fort outside the city, and some surrounding areas

Some views of the city from the mountain roads above
