Muscat

Motif Coffee Shop

Next to the intercontinental hotel directly on the beach where you can sit under palms and watch the sunset. despite the location prices are moderate. fresh juices are ro 1.1, a tea or coffee ro 0.8, a sandwhich about ro 1 and grilled fish or squid ro 3. it is a great place.

Every road, street corner or little collection houses, huts or businesses has a 'Coffee-Shop' Basic but worth a go.

Fresh fruit juices are delicious and available from a number of stalls and cafes in Muscat. Some well-known ones are Fast Food 'n' Juice Centre on the Corniche at Mutrah where you can watch the world go by from the outside tables and Al Ahli Coffeeshop inside the Mutrah Souq. Expect to pay between RO 0.500 and 1.500 for these juices depending on type and size.

There is a Starbucks located on the beach road that goes between the Crown Plaza Hotel and the Intercontinental Hotel. It is so close that if you cross the road, you are on the beach. The larger drinks are about RO 2-2.2, but the view through the glass wall of the waves coming into the beach is excellent.
