Its antiquity has perhaps increased the extent of its beauty, magic, and allure. Going through Souq Muttrah may be a confusing experience for a tourist expecting to find the magic of Arabia in the most historic seaside market of Oman. Souq Muttrah is full of Indian shopkeepers selling pashmina, strange looking golden idols, unconvincing copper coins, and strange juice mixes that feature Vimto and vanilla ice cream, but do not despair, OmanTripper is here to provide you with a simple guide on the most authentic Omani sovenirs that you can easily find in Souq Muttrah to make sure that you come out with a geniune Omani treasure. Many people come to Mutrah Corniche just to visit the souq, which retains the chaotic interest of a traditional Arab market albeit housed under modern timber roofing. Shops selling Omani and Indian artefacts together with a few antiques jostle among more traditional textile, hardware and jewellery stores. Bargaining is expected although discounts tend to be small. Cards are generally accepted in most shops, but bring cash for better deals. The main entry is via the Corniche, opposite the pedestrian traffic lights. Distinctive items for sale in the souq include antique mandoo (wedding chests) with brand-new thumbtacks brought down from the Hajar Mountains; rope-twined muskets that saw action in the Dhofar wars of the 1970s; an alleyway of sandals that complete the men’s smart Omani costume; and another of aluminium serving dishes for the traditional Omani shuwa (marinated lamb cooked in an underground oven). The traditional coffee house at the souq's entrance is a rare relic from the past and a locals-only meeting point for elderly men. Take care not to wander into the historic Shiite district of Al Lawataya by mistake, as the settlement is walled to protect the privacy of the residents here. A sign under the archway requests that visitors keep out. Navigating the souq takes a bit of practice. You enter through a two-storey, domed gateway on the Corniche (by the traffic lights) and head slightly uphill away from the sea. If you keep turning right at each junction, you will of course come back to the sea. If in doubt, head downhill. That said, getting lost inside the souq is part of the fun. Whenever you got a chance to visit oman it is highly recommended to must visit muttrah fort, muttrah souq, muttrah corniche & park to explorr real beauty & heritage.
