The sun slides down behind jagged limestone headlands as your kayak carves a narrow path through glassy water. The air cools; seabirds wheel and call while the city’s silhouette fades into orange and purple. This is the compact drama of a sunset paddle off Muscat — a two-hour outing that moves deliberately between quiet coves and a small, sheltered beach few visitors reach by land.
