Oman
Muscat is Oman’s capital and largest urban centre, with a population of about 1.65 million. It lies on the country’s northern coast and is the main base for visits to Oman’s capital region.
Most air travellers arrive at Muscat International Airport, the city’s listed airport. No notable named beaches are recorded within 40 kilometres of Muscat, so beach trips generally require looking beyond the immediate area.
