Q: What is the appropriate dress code for visiting the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque?

Women must cover hair, arms, and legs; men should wear long trousers and shirts covering shoulders. Modest clothing is essential.

Q: Are guided tours necessary to see Muscat's historical sites?

While you can explore alone, a guide provides deep historical context for the Mutrah Corniche and Al Alam Palace that is hard to find solo.

Q: Is it possible to combine a city tour with a visit to the Muttrah Souq?

Yes, most tours end at Muttrah Souq. It is best to visit in the late afternoon when the market is most vibrant and lively.

Q: How much walking should I expect during a standard Muscat city tour?

Expect moderate walking, especially in the Souq and around historical forts. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes are highly recommended.

Q: Can I take photos inside the Grand Mosque and other religious sites?

Photography is generally allowed in public areas of the Mosque, but always be respectful and avoid photographing people praying.

Q: What is the best way to navigate between Muscat's landmarks if not on a tour?

Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Otaxi are reliable. However, a guided tour is more efficient for covering distant sites in one day.
