A sign of Oman’s commitment to culture is the recent opening of the Royal Opera House in 2011. The building is a real tribute to Omani architecture with wind towers, pointed arch windows and a fort-like appearance – it really is a stunning building. If you’re interested in opera and want a genuinely unusual element to your tour of Oman, it’s always worth seeing what’s going to be on during your time in Muscat. We can request a tour of the opera house (subject to availability) during your full-day tour of Muscat, or you can easily ask your hotel to organise a taxi and pop by the opera house under your own steam, wandering around the gorgeous architecture at your own pace.
