Muscat, the capital of Oman, is divided into three quite distinctive regions: the old town, Muttrah and Ruwi. The old town's boundaries are marked by gated walls, enclosing the area around the port, the sultan's palace and the harbour. Muttrah is the residential area, boasting an excellent souk (market), and Ruwi is the modern business centre; hotels are usually situated within these two areas. A must while here is to experience the sunset under the light sea breeze on one of the excellent beaches. Despite its location, modern Muscat appears to be a long way from the desert on which it stands.
The beachside Al Bustan Palace Hotel is located approximately five miles from the Muscat Old City, 25 miles from Seeb International Airport, and 275 miles from Dubai International Airport. This location is also five miles from the Muttrah Souk and Muscat Palace, eight miles from the Oman Dive Center, 10 miles from the Qurum Shopping Center, 13 miles from Qurum National Park, 90 miles from Rustaq Fort, 100 miles from Nizwa, and a little over 150 miles from Jebel Shams, Jebel Akhdar, and Wahiba.

center for date
growing and is the
market place for the
area.
The green mountains and beautiful coast can only do so much. Nature did its part. Isn’t time that we did something too? Governments job is to provide the infrastructure the city needs. It’s the private sectors and investors turn. Restaurants, malls, parks, worldwide standard hotels ( 10 year old apartment building don’t count for tourist accommodation nor does renting ur house during the season!).
