The Muscat Day
The capital done properly in one day. No 4x4, barely any driving, home for dinner.
Mosque at nine while it is still calm, the opera house, then Mutrah for the whole afternoon — fish market, lunch, halwa, souq, fort — finishing at the palace when the light goes gold. The exact day from my reel, with the drive between each stop and what it costs. Any car does it, and most of the afternoon is on foot.
