As the capital of Oman and the country’s largest city, it is no wonder this Middle Eastern gem attracts visitors year-round, who come to explore its mystical Arabian treasures.

As the city is so extensive, this also means that distances between accommodation centres can be long. With the city divided into three main districts - Muscat, Matruh and Ruwi – it is important for holidaymakers to choose wisely as to which area they wish to stay in, with each district offering plentiful accommodation options. In addition, the Sultan Qaboos Highway, which heads northeast towards the airport, also has many hotels. The coastal road from Qurum to Seeb, which stretches over 50kms, is where you will find many of the larger international hotel chains and is a popular place for those wishing to take advantage of the nearby stunning beaches.
