Mutrah Souq, Traditional market in Muscat, Oman.
The market features narrow alleys roofed with wood, containing numerous shops selling traditional goods, textiles, spices, and handicrafts.
Dating back two hundred years, this marketplace originated as a central trading point along maritime routes connecting India and China.
Local merchants sell silver items, traditional dishdashas, embroidered kumahs, colorful fabrics, and Arabian muskets representing Omani craftsmanship.
The market operates from 8 AM to 1 PM and 4 PM to 10 PM on most days, with Friday hours limited to afternoon sessions.
Known as Al Dhalam among locals, meaning darkness, due to the densely packed stalls preventing sunlight from reaching the walkways.
