Muscat - Birkat Al Mouz - Nizwa Souq- Nizwa Fort - Al Hamra Old Village - Misfah Al Arbyeen - Jebel Shams

Birkat Al Mouz Ruins - We will continue our way to the old village of Birkat Al Mouz. This village runs up the side of a small mountain that is home to its own oasis containing gorgeous plantations of banana trees and various data palms. You can see the one of a kind irrigation system in Oman known as Aini, Dawoodi, and Ghaily.

Nizwa Souk - We will move on to the city of Nizwa. The old capital of Oman, Nizwa is the home of the famous souk markets. We will stop here for a chance to browse and purchase various souvenirs such as Omani silver crafts and other handmade items.

Nizwa Fort Oman - We will pay a visit to the Nizwa fort for a cost of 5 Omani rial. This fortress was built by Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya’rubi and remains to be the biggest fort in Oman. After, we will visit the old village Al Hamra, a 400-year-old town in north eastern Oman.

Al Hamra - Al Hamra is a 400-year-old town in the region Ad Dakhiliyah, in northeastern Oman. The town is thriving and lively but holds a secret. The 400-year-old town popped up around an amazing abandoned village. The Al Hamra ruins are estimated to be between 700-1000 years old and are left completely untouched.

Misfah al Abriyyin - Misfat Al Abriyeen is a unique mountainous village located 1,000 m above sea level on the mountain foothills surrounding wilayat Al Hamra in Al Dhakhiyla Governorate. The village derives its name from the Al Abri tribe, who originally come from Misfat Al Abriyeen and Al Hamra.

Jebel Shams - Jebel Shams is a mountain located in northeastern Oman north of Al Hamra town. It is known as Jabal Shams because it is the first place to receive sunrise in Oman due to its high peak. It is the highest mountain of the Hajar range and the country.

O man o man...what a trip! Great experience - We went on a 7day trip to Muscat, and it was our first time and we loved it! We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (8yrs). We rented a vehicle to visit multiple sites but we realised (2days ahead) that our vehicle was no match for the road towards Jebel Shams. Browsing the web in our hotelroom, i stumbled on Oman Landscapte tours and reached out (in stress) at 8pm. I was looking for a private driver who could transport us and to the full hike. The next day i received a quote and we would meet the day after in Nizwa (must visit!). Our driver Majid reported on time and was a true added value. On our way he explained and showed many things to know about Oman. Once there we geared up and started our 4.5hr hike. Water and dates kept us going and the views were breathtaking. All the time we felt safe and secure and necessary rest pauzes were taken. Thank you Majid for a life experience and we'll meet again. Family Swings
