Muscat (Muscat) in translation means "place of fall". The fact is that the cliffs here abruptly cut off to the sea, closing the city from all sides by a natural wall-fortress. Blooming Muscat is a real oasis created by human hands, because in Oman there are practically no rivers or lakes - their work takes on a lot of desalination plants.
