The Souq, the Sea, and the Sultan's Palace

Salim takes a slow walk through Old Muscat and Mutrah, from the ceremonial gates of Al Alam Palace to the quiet commerce of the fish market and the souq's incense-heavy air. He reflects on the weight of history, the rhythm of a capital in summer, and what it means to begin a new chapter in a very old place. ☕ Enjoying the show?
