After a good night sleep (we arrived pretty late) we enjoyed a full day at the pool whilst planning the rest of our trip a little since it was quite a last minute decision.
At dawn we headed for the first thing on our “To Do” list namely the Royal Opera House of Muscat. Only their Omani marble is resistant to the intense Arabic sun rays and weather conditions and makes for a marvellous picture as every tile is so clean it reflects its surroundings.
The inside is just as special as the outside walls if not better. Inspired by architecture from all over the world and ceilings filled with Swarovski crystals we stepped into, safe to say, the most astonishing entry hall I had ever laid eyes on. Together with the guided tour where you get to see all different kinds of rare instruments as well as the explanation of how the opera moves parts depending on the play that night, the Royal Opera House of Muscat made a very good impression on us and thus highly recommended.
