The Expensive Side of Muscat, Oman! 🇴🇲 (The Honest Reality)`

🌍 Welcome to Roam With Raz Is this beautiful coastal capital the most luxurious hidden gem in the Middle East? Welcome to the final chapter of my Muscat, Oman travel series! Today, we are moving past the sleepy back alleys to experience the high-end, premium side of the city—until the heavy rainfall completely derails my plans. Our premium journey starts at Al Qurum Beach as we head up to the ultra-exclusive Siddhartha Lounge by Buddha-Bar on the rooftop of the W Muscat Hotel. Offering an absolute jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Gulf of Oman, this is easily the most chill and beautiful ambiance in the city. While hanging out with the fantastic international staff from Sri Lanka and Jakarta, we taste a unique fresh Hibisco mocktail topped with passion fruit and vinegar! Next, we take a short walk to explore the spectacular Royal Opera House Muscat. Connected by an elite bridge over the heavy traffic jams, the Opera Galleria feels just like a premium Gold Souq lined with high-end luxury watch brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe. For dinner, we try traditional Omani food at two iconic locations. First, we taste an unfiltered Camel Qasabiya meat dish served with spicy Kabuli Pulao, before heading inside the magnificent fort-style interior of the famous Rozna Restaurant. Here, I meet a great friend named Jafar from UP, India, who serves up incredibly tender, juicy camel meat and authentic fresh Omani Chips right off the griddle! We finish up the adventure by touring the massive Mall of Oman, breaking down cheap interior design deals at IKEA vs. the UK, and sharing my ultimate tourist survival tips for cheap app cabs, local Maya Mobile SIM data, and safety.
