BIG BUS MUSCAT

Guided bus and train tours €€

Since their invention in 1853 in Paris, double-decker buses have travelled around the world. We find here the classic London model in an open-top version for a panoramic tour of about 1h45 without getting off. With the map available online or at the ticket office and downloadable on smartphone, choose your boarding point and get on Jacqueline! This tour, with commentary in French (audioguides in six languages and headphones provided), allows you to embrace the city in its entirety without getting tired of driving and, above all, without getting lost. It offers a complete panorama of the main natural, cultural, architectural and historical curiosities of the capital: cornices, forts, museums, mosques, souks, parks and gardens, shopping districts or old quarters... in complete freedom since you can go up, down, drag or not according to your will during the whole duration of the 24 or 48 hour package (buses every 30 minutes). This Hop on, Hop off formula is only valid on days when the cruise boats stop in Muscat harbour, which is the case 80% of the time - see the details of the online calendar. On the other dates, only the panoramic tour is proposed with two daily departures from the Mutrah Corniche: one at 10 am, the other at 2 pm. You can choose a place inside in the coolness of the air conditioning or nose to the wind, in the gentle warmth of the sun's rays or in the shade of the awning. A walk is highly recommended for a first contact with Muscat!
