Mina Qabus, Port Sultan Qaboos
Port
Sultan Qaboos, previously known as Mina
Qabus, is the largest port in Muscat, Oman. Situated in the
Muttrah area near the Corniche, this port has transformed from a commercial
port to a major cruise ship hub.
Shopping
options near the port are limited. However, a trip to nearby Sur or Muscat will
provide a wider variety of shops and stores to explore.
While
the port itself doesn't offer historical attractions, venturing a little
further unlocks the wonders of Oman's past. Explore the ancient city
of Qalhat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or visit the nearby
town of Sur, known for its traditional dhow
shipyards and beautiful beaches.
Similar
to Qalhat, Port Sultan Qaboos doesn't offer a vibrant nightlife scene. If
you're looking for exciting evening activities, head to Muscat where you'll
find a wider range of restaurants, entertainment options, and places to
socialize.
