Exploring Muttrah: Oman’s Historic Port City 🇴🇲 | Muscat’s Old Charm & Modern Spirit

Location: Muttrah is one of the oldest parts of Muscat, Oman, located along the coast of the Gulf of Oman — just a few kilometers from Muscat’s city center. History: It was a key trading hub long before Muscat became the capital. Traders from India, Persia, and East Africa used Muttrah’s natural harbor to exchange goods like spices, gold, and frankincense. Culture: The area still reflects Oman's maritime heritage, with its traditional souq, historic fort, and corniche lined with whitewashed buildings and dhow boats. Famous Landmarks: Muttrah Corniche: A scenic seaside promenade stretching about 3 km, great for evening walks and photography. Muttrah Souq: One of the oldest markets in the Arab world, famous for silver jewelry, Omani incense (frankincense), and handicrafts. Muttrah Fort: Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, offers a panoramic view of the harbor and Corniche.
