Muttrah, Port city in Muscat, Oman
Muttrah extends along the Gulf of Oman coastline with a central harbor area, traditional markets, and residential neighborhoods spread across the surrounding hills.
The city functioned as the primary commercial port of Oman before the 1970s, with Portuguese fortifications still standing as reminders of its maritime trading past.
The Sūr al-Luwātiyah district maintains traditions from Sindh immigrants who settled between 1780 and 1880, preserving their Indo-Aryan language and trading practices.
Port Sultan Qaboos handles commercial shipping operations while the Muttrah Souk offers traditional products, gold, textiles, and spices in covered market sections.
The narrow passages of Al Dhalam Souk received their name from the limited natural light that reaches the market corridors through small openings.
