Opera in Muscat is synonymous with the Royal Opera House. One of only two such houses in the region, the Royal Opera House is one of the musical and cultural centers of the Sultanate of Oman and a popular attraction in the city. Even if time doesn't allow for an evening watching a show, this beautiful building is a sight worth seeing. With the allure of a grand palace and intricate detailing, all the way to the ceiling, a walk through will make you feel like royalty.
