Four kilometers of flat golden sand: Qurum Beach — Muscat's first evening walk with its park, promenade and view cafés, where Omanis and residents gather on the Sea of Oman's sunset nightly. Low tide opens the beach into an endless field with sunset its complete rite; front cafés serve the after-walk sit; the natural Qurum park of mangroves (the area's namesake) offers small-boat rides at high tide.
