Muscat

The capital is most spectacular by night. There are two cultural places to visit in the evening and one legendary place to stay. The Chedi Muscat has the longest pool with 103 meters of length so you can exercise to your heart's content.

The sheesha lounge gives you a real taste of local pass times. Kalabash is more upscale and has a stunning view of the city.
