At 08:30 am our Muscat excursion tour started.
First to the city's old market, Mutrah Souk - In Dubai we previously bought nuts and spices, so we went in search of the street with spices - most shops sold local souvenirs, but by asking us we found a good store - and we could pay in Euro. Bought walnuts, cashews, nutmegs and saffron.
Next we visited the Alan Palace where the Sultan lives - behind the palace there were some old Portuguese Al Jalali Fort and Fort Al-Mirani.
After a tour of the old town, we drove to the new Muscat, where we saw the Grand Mosque and the opera. Muscat was a positive surprise - nice and incredibly clean city - and very friendly population.
The afternoon went with reading, knitting, sun and exercise on the deck.
After eating in the restaurant for 14 days, we decided to enjoy the good weather on our balcony. Got cheese and bread in Windjammer and enjoyed a bottle of red wine.
Ended the evening with a tour of the ship.
