Today's blog post is the second half of our stop at Muscat, Oman.  We were very pleasantly surprised but impressed with our visit here.  We have not seen such a clean country Australia and New Zealand.  Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly.  The buildings are huge and very modern. Our first stop on today's shore excursion was at the Bait al Zubair Museum, The Home of Heritage and Art.  We were not permitted to take pictures inside the museum but we could outside. The museum has an extensive collection of ancient  weapons , including  khanjar , household equipments,and costumes (most of which derive from the owner's private collection). Outside the museum is a full-scale Omani village and  souk . A Brief Tour of Bait al Zubair Museum, Muscat  video on  YouTube Note AC in this thatch building. Model village.
