About Muscat
Muscat is the capital of Oman, set between rugged mountains and the Gulf of Oman. It is the country's political and business centre and a gateway for visitors heading to the desert, the mountains and the coast, known for its Grand Mosque, old forts and souk.
Oman uses Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, all year, with no daylight saving. That is the same as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and one hour ahead of Riyadh and Doha. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, so it is worth bearing that in mind when arranging meetings from Europe.
