Begin your tour with a drive to the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. While the mosque is open for visitors in the morning, stop to admire its impressive exterior. This magnificent structure, with its stunning domes and intricate architecture, is even more awe-inspiring when lit up at night.
Take a scenic drive along the Mutrah Corniche, where the beautiful coastal views and the illuminated cityscape come together.

Stop and take photos of this royal landmark, set against the backdrop of the Al Hajar mountains.
Drive past the historic Al Mirani and Al Jalali forts, perched on the hills overlooking Muscat's harbor. These 16th-century forts are beautifully illuminated in the evening, offering a dramatic view of the city and coastline. They provide a glimpse into Oman’s rich history and military heritage.
Conclude the tour with a stop at a stunning viewpoint on the mountains surrounding Muscat. From here, get panoramic views of the city, the coastline, and the harbor, offering perfect photo opportunities as the lights of Muscat twinkle below.
