北京奥运圣火于今日抵达阿曼首都马斯喀特,圣火在马斯喀特的传递将从陈列“苏哈尔号”木船的布斯坦环岛出发,经过希达卜港、阿莱姆王宫、马斯喀特之门景区、马斯喀特海滨大道、穆特拉赫传统市场等马斯喀特重要景点,最后在库鲁姆国家公园举行火炬传递结束仪式,整个路线长度约为二十公里。

马斯喀特港是古代中国和阿拉伯国家贸易的重要港口,是海上“丝绸之路”途经阿拉伯半岛的唯一港口城市。阿曼是北京奥运会火炬传递途径的唯一的阿拉伯国家。

马斯喀特是阿曼首都,地处波斯湾通向印度洋的要冲,三面环山,东南濒阿拉伯海,东北临阿曼湾,依山临水,风景秀丽,占有重要的战略地位。 马斯喀特是中世纪的一座古老的港口城市。在阿拉伯语中意为“东西飘落之地”。
