- Wakan - This is an easy tour lasting about 6 hours, perfect for those seeking a brief getaway from Muscat. The journey heads towards Wadi Mistal, where two villages, Hadash and Wekan, can be found. A right turn leads to Wekan, an “Agriculture village” situated 1700 meters above sea level. Visitors will be amazed by the stunning landscapes and pleasant weather, with a variety of fruits available.
- Nakhal Fort - The excursion continues to Nakhal, where the beautiful Nakhal Fortress awaits. Nestled at the base of the mountains in a charming small town known for its extensive date palm plantations, this impressive 1500-year-old fortress emerges from the mountain rock, towering above the ancient village as if still deterring potential invaders with its formidable presence. It has witnessed numerous battles and is filled with hidden escape routes and secret passages. Visitors can explore the interior of this restored fortress and admire the rooms, which are beautifully decorated in the original old style. The view from the top of the fortress over the mountains and lush date plantations is breathtaking.
- Ain Al Thawarah - Next, visit the hot spring, located a few kilometers from Nakhal Fort, nestled among date farms. It flows year-round with warm mineral water collected in the site’s pools. The “picnic area” near the pool offers several chairs and shades for relaxation.
After this, the journey returns to Muscat.
