Muscat (Arabic: مسقط, Masqaṭ pronounced [ˈmasqatˤ]) is the capital and largest metropolitan city of Oman. It is also the seat of government and largest city in the Governorate of Muscat. Muscat is also considered as a Global City. According to the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), the total population of Muscat Governorate reached 1.28 million as of September 2015. The metropolitan area spans approximately 3,500 km (1,400 sq mi) and includes six provinces called wilayats. Known since the early 1st century CE as an important trading port between the west and the east, Muscat was ruled by various indigenous tribes as well as foreign powers such as the Persians, the Portuguese Empire and the Ottoman Empire at various points in its history. A regional military power in the 18th century, Muscat's influence extended as far as East Africa and Zanzibar. As an important port-town in the Gulf of Oman, Muscat attracted foreign tradesmen and settlers such as the Persians and the Balochis. Since the ascension of Qaboos bin Said as Sultan of Oman in 1970, Muscat has experienced rapid infrastructural development that has led to the growth of a vibrant economy and a multi-ethnic society.

We are back for a treatment yesterday. I and my wife had couple massage (together in one room), my late valentine gift. I must say that they remind us of our experience 8 years ago. I usually don’t snore during any theraphy but the calmness of her hand sliding through my muscles is hypnotic. We were ask first to choose from the three massage oil, the aroma of which were all good that it’s difficult to choose. I opted for the hint of lavender which has the calming effect. Then we are led to their treatment room where both the foot bath and massage bed co-exist. Contrary to other treatment, they pay importance to the footbath just as they do with the body. Rubbed with a mixture of ginger, lemon and salt, we know we are in for a Balinese trip. Ambar and Intan are not just from Bali, they brought with them the ancient Balinese technique which we instantly recognized the ritual with the gentle hovering of their fingers all over the body before the massage. This is contrary to other techniques where the therapists started to assess the tension we had in our body. What follow was their immaculate execution of fingers and hands sliding as if they had more than two, very relaxing. Being treated in the same room with my wife is one of the most romantic gift a man can give to his wife for I will know how she is delighted with my present. I strongly recommend to go straight to The SPA at the Chedi for more of the best authentic Balinese massage, it’s ancient!

Al Bustan Palace Spa by The Ritz-Carlton is artfully built into the surrounding landscape of towering stone and rock cliffs of the Hajar Mountains and follows the natural progression of the wadi (valley). Reflective of traditional Omani design, the spa beautifully complements the hotel and features domed ceilings, elegant arched walkways and columns, and Falaj (water channels). Ranged over three levels much like an ancient Arabian fort; heavy wooden doors flank the imposing entrance that leads into a smaller entryway. The complex includes an impressive 33,000 square foot (3,066 square meters) spa featuring a large reception area with ladies majlis (intimate seating/meeting area) and retail area, a juice bar and library, separate male and female treatment areas, ladies only members club which includes access to the indoor pool, gym and a private ladies beach. There are 17 treatment rooms, including 6 hammam rooms.
