About Muttrah Corniche

Muttrah Corniche is a very nice place for views, cruises, walks or simply to enjoy the sea. People of all ages can visit this place. It is really beautiful at night with the lights casting mesmeric shadows everywhere. The water is clear and clean. Great place to enjoy leisurely evening walks. Tourists will really like this place because of the less crowd and a peaceful environment. The isolated rocky formations look great silhouetted against the gathering darkness of twilight. Next to the fish market is the fruits and vegetable market, where the prices are much lower compared to the supermarket, provided you know the art of bargaining. A short cruise is highly recommended for a truly romantic feel.

Must See

  • Along the Corniche is the Souk, which is a must-visit for the visitors.
  • Muttrah Souk is a traditional market, which sells ancient and traditional items.

How to reach

39.6 km from the city center 34 minutes by cab/taxi.

Tips

  • Very nice place for early morning or evening walks particularly from October to February. The water is very clear.
  • There are a few benches on which one can sit and relax. Parking is sometimes an issue, particularly on weekends.
  • Very nice place to enjoy one's evenings. At the end of the corniche, there are two parks, Riyam Park and Kalbuh Park. Both parks have free entry.
  • Riyam park has a kids play area with lots of rides.
  • Enjoy the fountains and lights especially in the evenings at the time of sundown and the subsequent play of lights at night time.
  • Set out on the cruise at the time of sunset for a totally euphoric feel with spellbinding views of the lights and sights of Muscat from the sparkling waters.
