Muscat, Oman Muscat revealed itself calmly along the coast, framed by mountains and sea. I walked the Mutrah Corniche as fishermen prepared their boats. Inside the souq, frankincense and spice scented narrow lanes. At the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, marble and symmetry created quiet reverence. Evening light softened the city rather than brightened it. Muscat impressed not through scale, but through balance and restraint.
