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.
