Description:

From picturesque fishing villages to stunning beaches and medieval forts, the lush Batinah coast is a showcase of Oman's highlights. Find a rich sensory experience at the Seeb fish market, take a break in oasis-like hot springs, and marvel at the Islamic military architecture of the region's fortresses.

Explore the north coast of Oman, renowned for its green landscapes in contrast to the desert that covers much of the country. Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the Seeb Fish Market as you witness local people in their element trading the prize catches.

Drive inland and find Nakhal Fort nestled at the foot of the Hajjar Mountains. Here, enjoy the museum of military and cultural artifacts before visiting the tranquil hot springs. You can even sample the waters, and put their rumored healing properties to the test.

Continue in the shadow of the mountain range to Rustaq, home to one of the country's oldest forts. Admire this impressive edifice constructed in the pre-Islamic era, with its thick walls, tall towers, and generally imposing appearance.

Complete the tour back along the coastal road, with Oman's spectacular coastline engaging you all the way back to Muscat.
