December 30: Muttrah Gold Souk

I was able to start the day with a cup of coffee and a one hour CBS workout.  We left the hotel at about 9:00 am and headed to the Muttrah Gold Souk.

The market was really cool with wonderful scents, beautiful colors, and soft fabrics.  H purchased some scents and perfume for her friends at home.  

After the market, it was off to the National Museum.  It was just me and H for this one.  We spent a solid two hours here — H was really fascinated by this place.  Me? Not as much.

From here, we made it to a really cool place for lunch that was modeled after a traditional Omanian fort.  The portions were large SBC and the food was outstanding— especially the lamb.

Next, we went back to the hotel to rest before bringing H back to the airport.

Food: A++ (Rozna)

Definitely the best food we had in Oman.  Huge portions and delicious food — we especially enjoyed the lamb and fish.  The restaurant also offered freshly made Omanian bread with cheese and crushed potato chips.
