Description
Visit the famous Nakhl Fort, west of Muscat, with stops at the Al Thowarah Hot Springs and Seeb souq on a half-day tour.
Following a pickup from your hotel in Muscat, head to the starting point of the tour in the Shatti Al-Qurum district of Nakhl, a typical Omani village. Set at the foothills of the mountains near an abundant source of water, the area is home to extensive date palm plantations.
As you approach Nakhl, keep an eye out for the Nakhal Fort that sits on a hill outside the town. The fort’s origin is pre-Islamic with major contributions by the Al Ya’ruba and the Al Bu Sayed dynasties. Currently closed for renovations, take time to explore and admire the fort from outside. Next, stop by the mineral-laden Al Thowarah Hot Spring then arrive at the Seeb souq by the seaside for a unique photo stop.
The last stop will be at the Oman Avenues Mall, the largest shopping mall in Oman, before transferring back to your hotel in Muscat.
