Kalbooh Park, Muscat, Oman

  Kalbooh Park, near Muttrah and Old Muscat, is another example of the beauty of Muscat Parks!  As you can see, Kalbooh Park is just down the road from Riyam Park and the “giant incense burner”.  As you drive from Muttrah Souk, past Riyam roundabout on the right, you will see this sign showing the way to Kalbooh Park on the left.  (Be careful that’s a dangerous turn and cars can suddenly come flying around the corner!)   The water is incredible here and we saw quite a few local boys swimming in the shallow area near the road.  Kalbooh Park is quite popular with the locals but not well known to tourists.  Many tour books even leave this gorgeous park out!   I, myself, find it hard to “wacth children while I’m enjoying different play equipments.”   It’s highly recommended to bring a lunch and cooler with drinks to sit on the grass and enjoy this place.  If you don’t, no need to worry as they can whip you up something simple to eat here.  It is obviously no Ritz Carlton but good enough for a hungry soul!  Plenty of toys for children and the young at heart as well!  Kalbooh Park – fun for the whole family!  So if you have time, it’s best to get down to Kalbooh Park before the heat gets unbearable!  You won’t be disappointed as it truly is a gorgeous spot!
