Thanks gcommumtobe... Just came back from Muscat. We stayed at the Chedi and Shangri La and had a wonderful time. We went to see the Grand Mosque and it was breathtaking :)

The Oman Dive Centre has a gorgeous beach and a bar, tho it's probably too hot for this time of year. All the restaurants at the Chedi are fab and they have a lovely seafood restaurant at the Shangri La. Trader Vics at the Intercon is also a good option. If you're after culture, the Grand mosque there is gorgeous, open from 8am-11am daily (except fridays). You will have to cover up and wear a head scarf. They don't provide any, so take your own. The souks are also great, but will be sweltering at this time of year. You will however be able to bargin hard as they won't have many customers. Word of warning, all shops and the souk shut between 1 and 4/5pm, so no point trying to do anything between these hours. Also if your trip is in Ramadan then everywhere is dry, possibly with the exception of the hotel in which you are staying.
