What to do and see in Muscat, Muscat Governorate: The Best Cooking Classes
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.

5. Medina Ilyassova
My name is Medina and I will be your virtual guide. People know me as an expert in authentic Arabic cultural experiences, and as an Arabic coffee guru. I personally organized multiple desert expeditions where we spend time living with local bedouin tribes, so nobody knows the culture and the process of making traditional Arabic coffee better than me. My article about Oman and Arabic coffee was published in one of the most famous Yacht Magazine - Oceanco Showcase 2020.
