Excerpt Of Muscat 2 Days

Panoramica

This two-day trip takes you from Muscat into the interior and on to the Sharqiyah region.

Nizwa, the capital of the interior and the birthplace of Islam in the Sultanate of Oman, is known for its 17th-century Round Tower Fort and its souq, with a Friday cattle auction, hand-carved khanjars (daggers) and ornamental silver jewellery. Jabrin, one of Oman's finest castles, built in the late 17th century, became a seat of Omani learning and is known for its painted ceilings and woodcarvings.

In the Sharqiyah region, Wadi Bani Khaled is an evergreen wadi where cascading water forms a turquoise-green pool, and the Wahiba Sands are one of Oman's most fascinating and mysterious regions, with dunes that support an astonishing variety of plants and animals.

   Wadi Bani Khaled and back to Muscat

   After breakfast, go on to the beautiful oasis of Wadi Bani Khaled, the famous wadi of the Sharqiyah region. All year round, water flows from a natural spring at the top of the wadi and feeds the abundant vegetation that makes it such a beautiful spot.

   People head for the source of this water, which forms a series of magnificent deep pools at the narrow end of the wadi, and for Maqal Cave.
