About Muttrah Souq
The soul of old Muscat — a labyrinthine covered souq on the Muttrah waterfront dating back centuries. Narrow alleys lined with stalls selling frankincense, silver khanjar daggers, Omani silver jewellery, traditional textiles, spices, pottery, and handicrafts.
The authentic atmosphere of the souq is unlike any modern mall — incense smoke drifts through the lanes, merchants call from doorways, and locals and tourists mingle freely. The Oman Heritage Gallery inside sells genuine locally produced crafts.
