An Overview of Muscat in Pitures

When we first arrived into Musqat, the capital of Oman, it was hotter than I've ever been! It was over 100 even at night. Musqat is a beautiful city, but the heat stifled my ability to enjoy it. Really. Also, it is also a hard city to access because there is no public transportation, and it is hard to walk around the city. Impossible really, because neighborhoods are so spread out only connected by networks of highways -- think any US suburb or LA-esque.

I have some pictures of streets in Musquat to show you what it looks like. These pictures are from our first hotel. Our hotel was nothing special, but it was in a nice neighborhood with lots of juice shops, and old suq and Internet cafés nearby.

Another great thing is that it was easily walkable even at night -- past midnight.
Here is a lovely picture of Musqat from the hotel -- you can see the stunning pictures of mountains in the background and the contrast with the white buildings of the city.

The mountains in Musqat really are goregeous, they help frame the city.
