Muscat is one of the hottest luxury travel destinations right now. Sophisticated modern Arabic decor, pristine sandy beaches, spacious rooms, 5-star amenities and impeccable hospitality make it one of the most desirable places to escape to for a relaxing break.

Muscat might be Oman’s capital, but these hotels all have one thing in common: once inside you’ll escape the city’s hustle and bustle.

No trip to the city is complete without a visit to the Sultan Quaboos Grand Mosque. It’s absolutely stunning, and an incredible feat of architecture, with its 50m tall tower and five minarets to represent the five pillars of Islam. The inside is just as impressive as the outside, with one of the biggest chandeliers and handwoven carpets in the world. The extravagant chandelier in the men’s prayer hall contains 600,000 Swarovski crystals and weighs over 8 tonnes!
