Muscat is extremely well planned. The Capital City resembled a medieval ages town in 1970 when Sultan Quboos took over the reins of the Country. The City, as it is today, is a testimony to the Rulers foresight, careful planning and personal attention to minutest things. I have seen many cities, but for sheer order, cleanliness and beauty (both natural and man-made), Muscat stands head an shoulder above all of them. There is a feel good factor about Muscat.
The City has many parks, big and small. The grand daddy of them all is the Qurum Natural Park, dotted with manicured lawns, flowers, lake, stable and playing area for the kids - all well maintained.
