Guests will be picked up from the airport and we’ll begin our drive to Barka, a vibrant coastal town that serves as a crossroads between the regional centers of Sohar and Rustaq. Barka is known for its ancient bullfighting tradition and its famous Omani Halwa. Just a 40-minute drive from Muscat, it’s an ideal day trip destination and a favorite resort spot for Omanis. Notable attractions include the impressive Barka Fort, overlooking the coastline, and the traditional Barka Souq, the city’s bustling marketplace. Next, we’ll continue to Nakhal Fort, which is perched on a large rock. This historic fort has seen many renovations over the years and now welcomes visitors with stunning panoramic views of Nakhal village and a collection of historic artifacts in its museum. We will then head to the Ain Thawarah Waterspring, located along a winding road lined with palm trees. This natural hot spring is a trusted water source for locals, featuring a small pool where visitors can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of its mineral-rich waters. The spring flows from the wadi walls and is channeled into a falaj for irrigating nearby plantations. Next, we’ll drive to Wadi Bani Awf and Bilad Sayt, where you can experience the true essence of Arabia as your four-wheel drive leaves the bustling cities behind. This village, nestled in the Hajar Mountains, is renowned as one of the most beautiful mountain villages in the Sultanate, with villagers practicing traditional terrace farming that has supported the community for centuries. After the tour, we’ll drive back to Muscat and return you to the airport.
