The portion of Al-Shati Street that I am referring here is its portion from InterContinental and Crowne Plaza Muscat. This is a nice drive and stopover point. There are viewing galleries for capturing stunning views of the beach on one side and the mountains on the other. Starbucks and other places are there to sit and enjoy the views. Open air sitting and indoors sitting, both options are available. This is roughly 1.5 to 2 kms street. Parking is available.
Also a very good walking place at sunset time. Here I am putting both the day photographs and sunset photographs.
Al-Qurm Park is also nearby and a great place to hangout with family and friends.
