Muscat, Capital city at Gulf of Oman, Oman
Located on the Arabian Sea, Muscat extends across 3,500 square kilometers through six provinces between mountains and coastal areas.
The city served as a primary trading port between East and West since the 1st century AD, controlled by Persian, Portuguese, and Ottoman powers.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque stands as a central religious structure featuring white marble construction and accommodates 20,000 worshippers.
The public transportation system includes an extensive bus network and numerous taxis that connect all major districts of the metropolitan area.
Two Portuguese forts from the 16th century remain on hilltops overlooking the harbor, while the old city wall maintains its original gates.
