Riyam Park & Incense Burner Monument
حديقة ريام
A seaside park at the eastern end of the Muttrah Corniche. A giant hilltop frankincense burner sculpture is a Muscat landmark, and the park offers night views over the harbour.
Riyam Park lies at the eastern end of the Muttrah Corniche. A huge white frankincense burner monument stands on the hilltop, symbolising Oman's frankincense trading heritage. When it is lit up at night, it can be seen from all along the Corniche. The park has lawns, children's play areas, and a seafront path. Steps lead up to a nearby lookout tower, which offers views over Muttrah harbour and the forts. Entry is free, and the park is busiest in the evening and at night. It is about a 20-minute walk from Muttrah Souq along the Corniche, making it a good spot for an evening stroll at sunset.
Opening hours
