Etymology

The name 'Muscat' is derived from the Arabic word 'ู…ุณู‚ุท' (Masqat), which means 'place of dropping' or 'place of descent.'

Throughout its history, Muscat has been influenced by various cultures, including Persian, Portuguese, and British, which can be seen in its architecture and urban layout. The Muscat grape, on the other hand, has its roots in the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated since ancient times. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East and spread throughout Europe, where it has become a staple in winemaking.
