Om
Hurtige fakta: Den 3 kilometer lange promenade bugter sig langs Omanbugten og forbinder den gamle havn med fiskemarkedet, hvor fiskere dagligt bringer gulfinnet tun i land. Fredag morgen forvandler vandfronten sig til en åben souq, hundredvis af omanske familier og udlændinge samles til morgenmad, gåture og folkekiggeri.
Højdepunkter: Ved solnedgang i forår og efterår går solen ned direkte bag Sultans Al Alam-palads for enden af promenaden, hvilket skaber et 15 minutters vindue af gyldent lys, der maler den hvid- og guldpaladsfacade. Lokale kalder dette "Al Alams gyldne time", og fotografer ankommer en time tidligt for at sikre sig bænkene nær fiskemarkedet med den uhindrede udsigt.
Insidertips
- Bring binoculars to spot green turtles surfacing near the dhow anchorage at low tide.
- The public restrooms near the fish market are cleaner than those along the middle stretch.
- Skip the midday hours between May and September, the humidity and heat make the walk unpleasant.
- Rent a bicycle from the Muttrah bike stand for 1 rial per hour, the path is flat and smooth for cycling.
