Things to do in Muscat Governorate, Oman: The Best Beaches
The Omani city of Muscat is predominantly populated by Islamic Arabs, though it also has a sizable, non-resident Indian population, further rounded out by American, British and Dutch citizens. Muscat is a tolerant and progressive city, where English speakers are relatively common. Arrange fares beforehand if seeing the city by taxi. To explore further, consider renting a car. Don't miss the imposing Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, atmospheric Old Muttrah Souk, Al Alam Royal Palace or Al Jalali Fort.

a 45 minutes drive from muscat along the scenic road to yiti is highly recommended. the beach itself was up to or even above the omani beach high standard. it was a fine sandy beach with fantastically clear water, peaceful and quiet. but what impressed me the most was the scenic drive through village of all white houses and buildings, rock canyon, and date plantation. this short trip gives you an idea why oman is a leading destination when it comes to tourism in the gulf.

If you wish to visit a beach which has pebbles instead of the usual sand, then, this is the place. True to its name. you will find pebbles of different shapes, sizes and colors. Nature at its best.

We had a wonderful time in a small suite over looking the beach. The people of Qanrab were friendly and helpful. The beach and water was very nice. A local fisherman took us for a boat ride to a private beach where we spent the day.
