Great day out - Exciting mixture. Nakhal fort interesting and well presented. Hot springs for paddling not swimming but enjoyable. Wadi ban awef amazing so inspiring. The trip through the mountains were rather bumpy but awesome scenery. Felt very safe with our drivers who were delightful and spoke good English. Good light lunch at a newish hotel overlooking the old village. All in all a great day in Oman.

Very good service - Excellent day trip with our driver guide Ali, very competent and very helpful. The planned program was respected with the exception of Fort Nakhal, which is under construction. Ali let us walk in the beautiful village of Balad Sayt and its gardens, get out of the vehicle to take pictures. We ended the program with an excellent lunch where we discovered the typical dish of Oman: shuwa (lamb cooked over low heat very long). I strongly recommend this exit.
