Description
wadi Dayqah is surrounded by mountains, and is full of trees
Wadi Al Arbaeen The water varies between valleys, falaj, springs and waterfalls
Wadi Mayh One of the most beautiful valleys in Oman
Start your journey from Muscat and drive along the road to Quriyat. From here, you will travel inland for about 20 KM’s to see “Wadi Dayqah Dam”, set in desert terrain against a mountainous backdrop above the Al Mazara village in the Vilayat of Quriyat and the biggest manmade Dam in Oman. At 75 metres high, this dam straddles 400 metres across the wadi gorge with a 100 million cubic metre reservoir. Definitely a tourist attraction. You then proceed along an off-road track through the Hajar mountains on your way to visit “Wadi Al Arbaeen”. On route, you will see a few “Mushroom rocks”, a naturally occurring rock formation whose shape, as its name implies, resembles a mushroom. You then reach the wadi where you will find a pool of crystal clear intense turquoise blue waters, which are cool and inviting for a swim. Picnic lunch under one of the many shades of palm trees in the surrounding area. After lunch, we head back to Muscat via “Wadi Mayh”, a long valley that lies between Yiti and Sifah. You drive along asphalt and gravel roads through an enormous mountain range which is naturally engraved with many layers created through different geological periods and boasts a massive display of rock art. This picturesque landscape is dotted with small streams and pools of fresh water, alongside you will also find a Falaj system used by villages and farmers. Return to Muscat
