The Daymaniyat are made up of several islands, it is an easy trip taking a boat out (roughly 40 min boat ride), once you get there, it is peace and quiet. The water is beautiful, lots of coral and sea life.

Wadi Bani Khalid

Reviewed By NataK103

It's a really unique and beautiful pool formationq in a gorge with turquoise water. You have to walk 2 - 3 meters through a muddy path so don't bring your best shoes. The pools where you can swim are wonderful. A must if you are in Oman!

Wadi Al Arbeieen

E un'oasi nel deserto in oman a circa 150 km SE da muscat, con percorso fuoristrada, laghi naturali, oasi e piccoli villaggi che ti lasciano un ricordo indelebile del vero oman. assolutamente da vedere

Reviewed By rangeview - Muscat, Oman

Within an easy and scenic drive of Muscat Wadi Al Arbeieen provides the perfect balance between a picturesque walk, great place to swim and jump/dive off rocks and wonderful drive through a 10 km canyon to the coast. Well worth shortlisting on any visit to Oman and Muscat. Its also en-route to the Bimmah Sinkhole

Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

Reviewed By Traveler-SR84 - Muscat, Oman

Had an amazing time at Ras Al Jinz reserve; stayed overnight (got upgraded to their Eco-Tents) and did both night (9pm) and Morning (5 am) excursions to Reserve's beach. Recommend visiting in the high season (May - early Aug) as we saw many turtles building up their nests and were lucky to see few hatch-lings taking the arduous route to the sea. Reserve's guides are very helpful and do their best to accommodate everyone without disturbing the Turtles. Request folks to follow the instructions from the guides and avoid flash light photography that disturbs the turtles. We stayed at the reserve and the stay covers the night+ morning trips & delicious breakfast. Dinner (Buffet spread) was very nice too. Overall very enjoyable trip.
