You have got to go to the sink hole.. its definately unmissable. Just a big hole in the middle of the dessert full of water (ok that doesnt sound that great but really it is) And if your really really really brave you could even try jumping off the top...not recommended.....
An old Portuguese cannon stands guard in a village somewhere. What a strange combination - an ancient cannon and a modern Japanese motorcycle! We used to see many of these cannon in the old villges, and were told that some of them were actually fired , I believe at the end of Ramadan.
A view from the top of Jabal Qirmadhil (576 meters)looking east to the Wady Aday (the light patch towards the top of the photo). The rock slabs on the left have been uplifted to 90 degrees from their natural horizontal plane. The way back is down the dry wadi bed in the bottom right of the picture. When I view the slide of this shot the picture somehow seems to draw you towards the edge, just like on the clifftops on the coast! You really must click on this photo to view it properly. The Wadi Aday was just a graded dirt and gravel track in 1976, but I would think it is now a tarmac road!
At some point while you're in Oman, you should make sure you visit a fish suq. The ones in Muttruh and Seeb are probably the largest, though you'll find them in every coastal town. Fishermen bring their catches into shore and you can buy whatever you want right there on the beach. For a small extra fee, they'll even clean and filet your purchases for you.Photo: Portrait of an Omani fisherman on the beach in Seeb
For washing line amateur Oman seems quite difficult to find any, as the sun shines every day and the clothes are drying very fast.
Tanuf, a ruined village in the Jebal Akdhar, near Nizwa (See my Travelogue for more info) There is now a mineral water bottling factory here.
