Muscat stretches along the coast rather than gathering around one square. Mutrah Souq and its waterfront form one useful walking area; the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Royal Opera House and National Museum require trips to other parts of the city. This layout rewards a little transport planning. For travellers from India, the capital can be a short city break or the first stop before an inland route, with Muscat International Airport west of the older districts.
Mutrah is the better base for the souq and corniche, while Qurum places the Royal Opera House and coastal hotels closer. Neither choice puts every major sight within walking distance: the Grand Mosque is towards the airport, and Old Muscat lies beyond Mutrah. The National Museum stands opposite Al Alam Palace and can be reached by Mwasalat route 4. Pair it with the palace exterior and the views towards Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts, rather than crossing back to Qurum between stops.
For a Royal Opera House performance, the venue specifies formal or business dress and excludes jeans, T-shirts and trainers. House tours follow a separate smart-casual policy, so an afternoon architecture tour and an evening performance require different planning. Taxi arrivals for tours use Gates 3 or 4, and the opera house has a bus stop beside it. Oman Across Ages Museum is in Manah, around 140 kilometres from Muscat, not in the capital’s museum district; reserve it for an inland excursion. A day centred on Mutrah can instead combine the market, fort and waterfront without that long transfer. The airport’s western location makes a first stop near the Grand Mosque more logical than driving to Old Muscat and doubling back.
November to March, typically about 18–30°C, for outdoor walks.
By Air: Muscat International Airport (MCT) is about 32 km west of old Muscat; allow roughly 30–45 minutes by road. Mwasalat route A1, airport taxis and hired cars serve arrivals.

Muscat International Airport (MCT).
Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.
For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.
The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.
November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.
By Air: Chennai International Airport (MAA) is at Tirusulam, about 21 km south-west of the city centre; allow 45-75 minutes by road. The Blue Line metro stops at the airport, Tirusulam suburban station is linked to the terminals, and MTC buses, prepaid taxis and app cabs are available.
By Rail: Chennai Central (MGR Central) and Chennai Egmore are the main terminals. Vande Bharat trains run to Mysuru via Bengaluru, to Coimbatore and to Tirunelveli, and the Tamil Nadu Express links Central with New Delhi.
By Road: The East Coast Road leads to Mahabalipuram and Puducherry, and NH 48 runs west to Bengaluru. TNSTC and SETC buses for the southern districts leave from the Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus at Kilambakkam.
