The route passes Al Bustan Palace Hotel, Mirani Fort, Al Jalali Fort, and Al Alam Palace, including a 17th-century Portuguese fort and a royal residence. These are pass-by views rather than shore stops, so you can take in Muscat’s waterfront from the boat while enjoying light refreshments, Omani coffee, dates, snacks, soda pop, and bottled water.
