Muscat is the capital and main city in the Sultanate of Oman. The city's area is very large but its population is not. Strict architectural rules prohibit any high rising buildings. As a matter of fact, even the newly built houses have a traditional style. Most of the houses are white, whether in the richest or popular districts. The city is divided into several areas interconnected by modern highways.

Due to the large amount of pictures taken in Muscat, I put them under several categories corresponding to specific areas or sceneries:
