The corniche in Muscat is a beautiful promenade that overlooks the Sultan Qaboos Port east of the waterfront and is a favourite with tourists and locals alike. It stretches for 3 km and has gardens and fountains alongside the stretch. A fish market at one end is where the catch of the day is unloaded. This is where you will see kids enjoying an ice cream, women relaxing after shopping and some men jogging too. You can see the blue hued Al-Lawati Mosque and Muttrah Souk on one side and the Sultan's private cruise line and traditional sailing boats here. As you walk along the waterfront, you can see a line of sculptures as well like one I noticed with some dolphins and waves in sand stone. There are some restaurants on the other side where you can sample some local food and enjoy lovely views of the water along with the cool breeze, which will make this a pleasant way to spend the evening too. Also, if you are here in the evening, you can enjoy magnificent sunset and actually see the water changing colour—a truly lovely sight!
