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.
