| | Muscat |
| | The Muscat grape is unusual in one respect - it's a grape that tends to give its particular flavour to its wine no matter where it's planted. | | | It has an aromatic quality that most commonly is put to good effect in sweet dessert wines, but the range of wine types produced by the Muscat grape is large, from the very sweet to very dry. | | | Using the Muscat grape as part of cepage is fairly common, since even in small proportions it can add body and aroma to what might otherwise be flat and uninteresting wines. |

| | There are three forts in Muscat, all of which took on their more or less present form in the 1580s during the Portuguese occupation of Muscat. | | | Maybe it's because Muscat doesn't have that slightly artificial feel which typifies so much of the rest of the region. | | | Muscat, the old port area, is the site of the sultan's main palace and a fascinating place to wander around, but it has few shops and, except for the old city walls, it isn't exactly bursting with sights. |
