  1. Catch beneath the wave-shaped roof: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    Here you will see how the new building preserved the short chain between a fishing boat, bargaining, and a cutting table.

  2. Frankincense, Coins, and a Curved Blade: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    The family trade unfolds through things that are sold, repaired, taken out of Oman, and years later returned to the very same counter.

  3. Gates of the Lawati Merchant Quarter: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    The enclosure will help connect the closed family quarter with the open school that prepared the city’s children to work in overseas offices.

  4. The Fort Above the Trading Bay: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    From the slope, the military cost of the road linking the trading bay with Muscat's fortifications will become clear.

  5. The Shore That Became a Port: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    The view across the bay shows the result of a project the treasury could not afford for almost half a century.

  6. The White Arc of the Old Harbor: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    The empty space at the entrance to the harbor will preserve the story of a sailing ship brought here intact for a future monument.

  7. The White Incense Burner Above Riyam: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    The final stop will link the first motor road between Mutrah and Muscat with the disappearing livelihood of coastal boatmen.

  8. Threshold of Al Dhalam Souq: story on the “Mutrah: port, souq, and the road above the bay” route

    This point explains how trade passages that could not be locked acquired their own permanent night guard.
