Tour Muscat’s Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque for $10, with Islamic art, Omani design, a vast carpet, crystal chandelier, and practical entry tips.
“a very informative tour, the guide and the Mosque were very knowledgeable and made the visit very interesting people at”
Hike Oman's Balcony Walk, reach a hidden pool, and climb Jebel Shams by via ferrata on a guided 4x4 adventure from Nizwa.
“It’s a nice hike around the balcony before some climbing up about 100 metres via the ferrata, which is thankfully in three parts so you can rest in between parts. The majority of the hike is mostly flat, except for the the entrance up to the ferrata, but it’s definitely doable as long as the sun is cooperative, so consider early morning or later in the afternoon.”
