Here’s an overview of your activity

Embark on a seamless exploration of Muscat's natural and cultural treasures with our Riyam to Muttrah Adventure. The journey begins with a hassle-free pick-up from your hotel, setting the tone for a day of discovery.

Your two-hour hike commences from the historic Royal area, winding through the picturesque 'jebel,' offering a glimpse into the time when locals traversed these paths on foot or donkey. Absorb the beauty of the journey as you tread between Riyam Park and the charming old commercial district of Muttrah.

Upon arrival in Muttrah, I will ensure a smooth transition. I'll drop you off at the vibrant Muttrah Soukh and then conveniently retrieve my car to escort you back to your hotel. Immerse yourself in the heart of 'old' Muscat, where the coastal road once didn't exist, and experience the enchantment of Muttrah - home to Oman's renowned soukh and the Corniche.

This curated adventure not only offers a scenic hike but also an authentic glimpse into the rich history and culture of Muscat. With pick-up and drop-off included, our Riyam to Muttrah Adventure is designed for a seamless, immersive experience, ensuring you leave with lasting memories of Oman's treasures."
