Expectations didn't match reality at all.
It's not as authentic as we would like it to be.
There's really nothing to do here, as they say on all forums, just for a maximum of 10 minutes for photos. Of course, you have to come once for a check. The sellers are intrusive, the prices are too high, the goods are all the same. I was bribed for 15 reais, and I can teach you how to buy 25g of sawdust for $40. I went to get only incense, dates and halva, or at least to get a price. As a result, one of them poured incense (very fragrant) into a small jar for 4 reales and 25g of supposedly "oud" (of course, this is not any oud, but sawdust incense) for 11 reales (like he also made a discount * Yes, I was led by emotions, what to do © Allah is his judge . Its point is the second from the left, if you enter from the entrance (entrance with a sign "Welcome Suok Matrah") from the old town, not from the embankment. He looks like a Hindu (although he said he was not a Hindu). So don't be like me, you'll find it much cheaper in ordinary shops.

My husband and I were brought to the Old Market (Matrah Suk) in Muscat by our guide, Pavel, so that we could plunge into the exotic and feel the oriental flavor of Oman, for which he conducted a short tour for us in this authentic place (about 40 minutes). We walked along the sleeves of this bazaar - we gawked, showed ourselves, looked at others, but did not buy anything, since there was no fundamental task. Although my husband walked around Arab knives like a fox at a grape. If you have the time and energy, you can look here, but without fanaticism!

There is no authenticity, a boring and uninteresting market, compared to other colorful oriental markets. Sellers are very intrusive, they do not bargain very much. And the product is especially without choice and interest for me.

The market is the market. And I didn't see much difference with Southeastern or European. The difference is only in national products

Nice cashmere. Incense and be sure to bargain. At the entrance on the right there is a bank to exchange money.

An excellent oriental bazaar, in its classic form. You can and should bargain, the local people have the same knowledge of English as you do. Everyone understands each other at once)))

The prices are too high, but if you know how to bargain, then you can drop 30%, it's worth a visit for a tick.

The old Oriental bazaar. The ceilings made an impression! Friendly sellers haggled with pleasure. I bought incense and a cashmere shawl. I was very pleased, I wanted to come back the next day.

I wasn't very impressed with the market, although I'm a fan of such oriental bazaars. Scrap prices, average product quality, sellers don't bargain much. But we must pay tribute, the bazaar is large and very authentic.

An entourage place where everything that can hook a buyer is collected. These are brand-name fakes, various local trifles, and old things. There is something interesting.

A real Oriental very old bazaar. At the same time, they don't stick to you, everything is respectful and you can bargain to the point of insanity. I bought myself real oriental sandals for one finger! I had a lot of fun!

The market is like a market.
The goods are primitive: handkerchiefs, some kind of smoke and smelling sticks (I plugged my nose), gold in chains and large pendants. And what else? And that's it. The rest is the cheapest China: hats, toys at the fixprice level, some souvenirs with a load of time on them.
The market in Marrakech or Deira in Dubai is several orders of magnitude higher.

Chinese consumer goods at crazy prices. Who is behind the incense - bargain, the most expensive is a MAXIMUM of 1 rial / 100 grams. In the UAE, prices for Omani frankincense are almost the same.
