5 hot<br />
places to visit in Oman<br />
If you want a taste of the Middle East but don’t fancy Dubai’s seven-star luxury,<br />
then Oman is the perfect spot. Just make sure you dress for the occasion with<br />

The capital of Oman is a sleepy spot spread out in a thin strip<br />
between Martian-esque mountains and the flat, blue sea.<br />
Perhaps the most intriguing part of town is Muttrah, the old<br />
port that houses Muttrah fort, which, while rarely open to the<br />
public, was built in the 1600s by the Portuguese and is hewn<br />
into the surrounding rock, making for some grand photo<br />
opportunities. It’s worth the steep climb for sweeping views of<br />
the corniche. It’s also here that you’ll find Bait al Baranda (00968<br />
24 714 262), which offers the best history of Muscat to be found<br />
in the country. Other musts include the Sultan Qaboos Grand<br />
Mosque, one of the largest in the world and open to non-<br />
Muslims (women should cover up), and<br />
the pungent lunacy of the Fish Souk.<br />
