“The sunset cruise in Muscat is an absolute must-do. A perfect blend of calm see-wind, stunning coastal views, and that signature Omani sunset that resets your whole mood. The service on board and from a bus driver (to the harbour) was excellent and the atmosphere felt genuinely magical. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Muscat.”
