Muscat Gate is a beautiful gate that many people drive through on a rush to get somewhere “more exciting”. Park the car and explore this historic site, I say! Take in the view, smell the flowers and learn a little from the Muscat Gate Museum! My friend, wife and love, Che Brown! (Looks like that should be illegal! :-)) And here’s a pic of an ancient Muscat Gate, taken at the Bait al Zubair Museum “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Che, Che, Let down your hair that I may climb the golden Muscat stair.” Here’s a view of Muscat Harbor from the top of Muscat Gate And this is looking on the other side The museum is open Sun to Thur 9:30am-1pm, 4-7pm This pretty cool painting is on the wall just behind the Muscat Gate on Riyam Street. I hope you all enjoyed these pictures of Muscat Gate. Have a safe, relaxing and BLESSED weekend, everyone! 🙂 If life is getting you down, LOOK UP TO GOD! (Colossians 3:1-2) (The weekend starts on Wed afternoon here in Oman!)

Andy I must, you’ve got a nice camera… which one is it?
Thanks for the comment. My camera is the Nixon Coolpix S200 (7.2 Megapixels) It is a precious gift that was given to me as a farewell gift from some GREAT Christian friends I was teaching with in South Korean.
Andy–how much do you charge to be a tour guide around the Muscat area. 🙂 My family does not want to miss a thing while we are there. Your photos are amazing and your commentary is wonderful. So thankful for todays technology – your blog has helped to ease our concerns of heading over. Will you still be there in the fall?
I don’t charge a dime! We love traveling and checking things out!
Thanks for your comments and encouragement. I’m so glad to hear that this blog has made at least one family more at ease about coming over here. That’s part of the purpose-to share experiences and let people know the beauty of Oman! We should be here in the fall, God willing, and we’re looking forward to seeing you and your family. Many blessings!
were there last saturday but the musuem was closed. anyway, the view is beautiful from up there.
I’m been to this spot countless times and they NEVER seem to be open!!! And yes, the view is spectacular!
