Hi guys! I am going to Muscat this weekend with my family and will be there from Thurs. evening to Sunday evening. Is there anything that we absolutely SHOULD NOT miss? Whats the deal with shop/restaurant timings on fridays/saturdays? open all day or are they closed partly? I want to do a whole day in muscat for sure and then see some of the surrounding areas and towns. TIA!! :)

Or you could drive through mountains and along coast to Sur and Raz al Jinz ,beautiful scenery, beautiful Wadis no need for 4/4 as roads are great on this route really beautiful and unspoiled

Depends what everyone likes doing really. A visit to the Grand Mosque, Muttrah Souk also stopping at the Sultan's palace, drive out to Shangri-La for lunch some amazing views. Take a trip up Jebel Akdhar, Snake Gorge, Caves, Nizwa fort. The weekends in Muscat are Thursday and Friday so everything be open a bit later on the Friday. <em>edited by IrnBru on 13/06/2012</em>
