Muttrah, a charming district and former fishing village in Oman’s Muscat province, has evolved into one of the country’s busiest commercial centers. Its bustling sea port and the historic Muttrah Souq, one of the oldest marketplaces in the world, have been central to its development since the age of sail. The souq, with its narrow, winding alleys, is a vibrant maze of shops selling everything from spices and textiles to jewelry and handicrafts. Visitors today can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere, haggle for goods, and experience a slice of traditional Omani life.
