Want access to secret hideaways and exotic regions well away from the clutches of modern-day tourism? Then journey to these destinations the next time you’re in Oman.
Majlis Al Jin Cave
Found deep within the eastern side of the Al Hajar Mountains is the well preserved Majlis Al Jin Cave. Believed to be the largest cave in the world, the visitor will be led on a riveting escape along narrow, dimly lit pathways, deep within the ground.
Bimmah Sink Hole
As per local belief, the Bimmah Sink Hole was the result of a meteorite and to the curious globetrotter, this natural attraction will be music to your ears if you have a soft spot for sinkholes and weirdly-shaped rock formations.
Wadi Bani Khalid
Wadis also called valleys are a popular draw in parts of the Middle East and Oman is no exception to this thought. However, one of the few wadis where water flows throughout the year is the charming Wadi Bani Khalid. As you approach, you will be greeted by large pools and boulder-strewn terrain and thus, be sure to carry your camera with you.
Mountains of Nizwa
Stays at Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort which is among Oman luxury resorts will have you in prime position to navigate the mountainous regions of Nizwa. In fact, with the company of a guide you can take on the prospect of hiking past towering peaks and coming into contact with wildlife that will make you want to linger here for hours on end. As you move ahead, scenes of an ancient 400-year-old village discreetly positioned in the hills will come trickling through that will be quite the sight for sore eyes.
