Hello
I actually live in Dubai and will be in Muscat for 2 full days. I basically only want to see sights and take pictures. Now can anyone tell me from experience, weather the "big Bus Tour" ($46) is a good idea or weather exploring by foot/local bus is better.

I love walking and think you get the best foto opps by walking but I also see that some sights are far from each other...any info/opinions?

Thank you !

The big bus tour is generally a fab idea but due to road works in Ruwi it is now anything but. In fact I'd go as far as to say that right now is not the time to be visiting the sites due to the road works in Muttrah and Ruwi. That said however you would be able to do the Grand Mosque and the Opera House area, as well as the long beach road in Qurum we call Sharat Al Hube. Its a gorgeous walk. Then there is the area known as Shatti which is beside the intercom, it has a beach and shops and coffee shops, its where people go and is very nice. If you tell me where you're staying I can give you more of an idea.
