Whether it’s the adventure of discovering iconic landmarks or the thrill of a world-class theme park Shangri-La’s curated experiences of attractions get you out of your comfort zone and into the realm of unforgettable travel memories.

Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque 

Completed in May, 2001, the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is made from 300,000 tons of Indian sandstone. The main musalla (or prayer hall), which can hold 6,500 worshippers, is square with a central dome rising to a height of fifty metres.

One of the largest mosques in the world, its impressive interior features include a handmade prayer carpet comprising 1,700 million knots and weighing 21 tons, which took four years to produce, and a 14-metre-tall Italian-made chandelier.

Muttrah Souq 

Many tourists come to Muttrah Corniche just to visit the souq, a traditional Arab market. Shops selling Omani and Indian artefacts and few antiques share space with more traditional textile, hardware and jewellery stores. Credit cards are accepted in majority of the shops, but bargain with cash. It’s easy to get lost here, but that’s part of the fun. Just keep heading downhill, towards the sea.

Royal Opera House 

Oman's premier venue for musical arts and culture, the Royal Opera House can hold up to 1,100 people. The complex comprises a concert theatre, auditorium, landscaped gardens, cultural market, luxury restaurants and an arts centre.
