A 40-minute drive from Muscat, Barka provides the perfect day trip and is a favourite resort destination amongst Omanis. The Barka Fort, standing imperiously over the Omani coastline, and the Barka Souq, the traditional marketplace of the city, are major tourist attractions in the region. Then we will continue to Nakhal Fort, is built on the top of a large rock, the fort has undergone many improvements over the centuries and today welcomes visitors looking to enjoy panoramic views of Nakhal village and t6he historic artefacts collection housed within the museum. Then we proceed to Thawarah Waterspring, close to the Fort along a winding road framed by palm trees as far as the eye can see, are the Ain Thawarah Waterspring. Locals use the springs as a trusted water supply, and there is even a small pool to enjoy the therapeutic properties of the mineral water. This hot spring emerges from the wadi walls and is directed into a falaj (immigration channel) for the irrigation of the surrounding plantations. Then we drive to Wadi Bani Awf to Bilad Sayt, you discover the true essence of Arabia — so mystic and unimaginable— when your four-wheel drive leaves the bustling cities and drive to the interior regions. This village is widely regarded as one of the beautiful mountain villages in the Sultanate which is nestled in the Hajar Mountains. Villagers still practice the traditional terrace farming that has served the community for centuries. After the tour, we drive back to Muscat and drop you back to the airport.
