Wadi Bani Awf Adventure Trail

Start your Day with the visit of Barka Fish market. After visiting the fish market, you drive to Nakhal. Arrive at Nakhal and visit the Nakhal Fort. This fort once served the Imams of Bani Kharous and the Ya'arubah dynasty. After recent restoration work carried out, it is refurbished with the traditional furniture, handicrafts and historic relics. The ceilings, the doors and the windows are decorated with beautiful carvings. The view from the roof-top is very impressive and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The old village of Nakhal, which nestles below the fort, gradually leads to the famous warm springs of Nakhal situated at the end of an attractive Oasis. Relax by the side of the shallow waters of the springs surrounded by lush green date plantations and steep mountain peaks. From there drive to Wadi Bani Awf and reach at the top of Bilad Sayt. Stop for a short photostop of Bilad Sayt, the most idyllic village with a wealth of verdant terraces. The graded track through the mountains is stunning. , ‘It is one of the most interesting off road drive in Oman and most of the time, this Wadi has water making it a unique place for bashing. Return to Muscat after the drive. (It is recommended to wear comfortable clothes & walking shoes for this trip)
