Muscat

Muscat, the capital of Oman, is one of the oldest cities in the entire Middle East. Its history dates back to the 2nd century AD and its worldwide fame is mainly linked to the strategic position of the port which has made trade the main source of income for the country.

In addition to trade, the port has played a crucial role in another sector: tourism. Thanks to its geographical position, the city allows you to explore both the coastal and the internal area of ​​the country. One of the best ways to reach the city is on a cruise ship. Choosing a cruise that starts from Muscat or has this city as a stop is the ideal choice if you want to explore the Middle Eastern coasts and the internal areas. There are numerous attractions to visit in Muscat. The wide range of things to see makes the city the ideal destination for every type of visitor. Places of worship, residences of the sultans, large parks, local markets and wonderful beaches are just some of the places that deserve to be visited and immortalized.

A visit to the mosque of Sultan Qaboos is a must, the third largest mosque in the world and the third most important place of worship in the country. Its architecture, with sumptuous walls made of white Carrara marble, renowned all over the world for its high quality, and the enormous Swarovski crystal chandelier that cascades from the golden dome, always leave visitors breathless and make it one of the ideal subjects for the various posts to share with friends.

For history and culture lovers, a visit to the National Museum of the Sultan of Oman is undoubtedly an unmissable experience.

Port Louis

Spectacular under the peaks of imposing mountains, Port Louis makes an impression from the plateau with its frenetic center on the ocean in a frieze that seems to defy perspective. A wonderful experience.

Despite being the national capital, the main economic center, and the largest city in the country, Port Louis occupies a rather strange place in modern Mauritian psyche. The more affluent classes have traditionally lived outside the city, especially in the towns of Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Moka, and Vacoas. This trend continues today, to the extent that Port Louis (the final 's' is usually silent) can sometimes seem like a city without a middle class, without a center, and a ghost town after dark. This impression is totally false, however – Port Louis has a lot to offer, and anyone who only visits the fantastic Caudan Waterfront will get a very bland impression of the national capital. The hustle and bustle of the streets, the famous city market, Chinatown, and the collection of beautifully preserved colonial buildings make Port Louis much more than just a place to shop away from the beach.
