Mini Batinah Tour through Seeb, Al Hazm, Rustaq and Nakhl
09.00: Meet your tour guide and embark on this tour into the Batinah region, perhaps the most fertile and lush green coastal region of northern Oman. It also offers a few glimpses into Oman's rich history with visits to some lovely old forts.
Visit the very lively and exciting fish market in Seeb, which takes place on the open beach in the early morning hours.
Drive directly to Al Hazm, one of the most famous forts in Oman, well known for its marvellous architecture, numerous secret passageways, and hidden rooms.
Continue driving through Rustaq, where you will stop briefly at the hot water springs.
Explore Nakhl, where a pre-Islamic fort perched upon a hillock offers a splendid view of the surrounding plains.
See how, not very far from the fort, are the famous hot water springs of Nakhl, also a popular picnic spot.
Make a brief photo stop at the Zulfa Mosque, lit up marvellously by the afternoon sun, before returning to Muscat.
