Before you go
What the guide flags for older travellers.
- Muscat is better than most for wheels in malls, hotels and the Grand Mosque; the souq and old lanes are not. Plan door-to-door car rides and pick a hotel with a lift. (Accessibility · summary)
- Al Jalali and Mirani forts: Steps and slopes; view from below. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
