Oman Outings ~ Muttrah Souk & Corniche Muscat is a walled city which sits in a small bay, guarded by the twin forts of Mirani & Jalali. Muttrah, is the central trading port. Its main attraction is the Souq Al Dhalam, or "Market of Shades. It s labyrinth of alleyways lit by lantern, unveils local antiques, gold, silver, and traditional handicrafts, while the scent of frankincense fills the air.

Oman Outings ~ Wadis A wadi is a dried up riverbed found in the mountain valleys. Wadis come into their own after heavy rains, when the rivers start running again and the vegetation is restored. However, some wadis have yearround running water, with deep, cool pools in which it is quite safe to swim if the currents are slow. WADI AL SHAB means, "gorge between the cliffs". Only a two hour drive from Muscat, the wadi is entered via a small ferry and it has cool pools of water all year round. K E M P I N S K I 33
