Recommend you get your silver here, rather than muttrah in muscat. The dates from here are delicious and the halwa is unreal.

This cultural centre is known for its antiques. It has the Maria Theresa thalers that were once used as the official currency in Oman. Other cultural features that can be found in this centre include nuts, dried lemons, spices, and vanilla found in the centre’s older section (Muscat-expo.com, 2022). During the tours, this place can provide the town’s prized dates. -Adventure Tours

Authentic souq, not many of them left out there. Highly recommend visiting if you get a chance. There's a few sections worth seeing such as meat, fruits and vegetables, fish and also some craftsmen stands where you can buy mugs, pottery, etc. Very cool 👍
-
Live and teeming with energy and activity very early Friday morning! Left Muscat at 5:30 am hoping to capture imagery of an empty souk. But was told by locals that on Friday the people are active around souk soon after morning/fajr prayers. That is even before clear sun visibility! Amazing

A great place to buy traditional stuffs like pots and many organic things like honey and medicinal items. There's a friday special pet shop as well (birds, rabbits, cats, fishes and goats). There are also traditional shops in the first floor.
