Al Riyam Park

Beyond Mutrah Fort, the Corniche leads to the leafy Al Riyam Park, with fine views of the harbour from the giant ornamental incense burner. There is a small funfair popular with locals at weekends. The park is on the path of a popular hike (C38) that used to link Mutrah with Muscat proper. Park opening times are a bit hit-and-miss.
