If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 40 miles away, Sultan Qaboos University is worth hopping in the car for. Muscat City Centre Shopping Mall, Oman Botanic Garden and Markaz Al Bahja Mall alone justify the drive out here. Situated 19 miles away, Sultan’s Armed Forces Museum is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Muttrah Souq, Qurum Beach and Royal Opera House Muscat.
