Crew celebrates Forth offuly in . Al Muscat ft-.ta ...I . K he final port in the Ciulf region was the ancient city of Muscat, Oman. Carved out of the craggy cliffs of the Eastern Arabian Pennin- sula, Muscat was a heavily fortified haven for pirates and spice traders from the middle ages until early modern times. The ruins of citadels and huge turretsjutt from the rock right up to the water's edge. It was in Muscat that we celebrated the Forth of July with a barbecue spon- sored by the American Embassy. Muscat has a definite British influence. The westem hotels, including the Al Bustan Palace and the InterContinental Hotel are among the best in the Arab region. The bars in the hotels were typical English pubs, filled with ex-patriots and sewing Fosters and Carlsburg on tap. There was quite a lot to see in Muscat. The ruined castles and turrets, as well as the Sultan's palace were good places to visit. Because it was a liberty port, some of the crew got hotel rooms and spent the time in the refrigerated swimming pools of the hotels. For sheer opulence, the Al Bustan Palace, voted one of the top ten hotels in the world, was the place to stay.
