Wadi Tiwi
There are several beautiful Wadi's in Oman to hike and some of are more "touristy" (Wadi Shab) then others. Wadi Tiwi and its beautiful waterfall seems to be more of a local hangout.
|
Al Hazm Castle
Once inside the walls, Al Hazm Castle opens up into a labyrinth of hallways, stairs, and room. The top deck provides an impressive view of the area. A very unique experience.

Mutrah Souq
The Matrah Souq is a well known bazaar in Muscat which features household goods, souvenirs, Frankincense, jewelry, spices, and other local items.

Al-Rustaq Fort
Al-Rustaq Fort is similar to Al Hazm Castle in shape and architecture, but its foot print is much larger. It is also still a fairly active spot within the local community.

Wadi Shab
One of the more "touristy" Wadis in Oman. The entrance is a beautiful, scenic gateway where you take a boat ride up the river until you reach the hiking area and go up from there.

Rustaq
Rustaq is a town nestled in the hills and located north of Muscat. The large, double gated entrance is a nice welcome to a beautiful city. The also have a Hot Spring there!
