Re: Family overnighter in Oman
We’ll have our base camp at Jabal Akhdar (where we’ll be staying in furnished apartments) and will be exploring the nearby areas including Jabal Shams. Its not too far from Jabal Akhdar.
The trip will take you through many scenic areas and some adventure activities are also planned for those so inclined. To sum it up, the tentative POA will be something like this:
Early start around 7 from Dubai and cross over to Oman at the Hatta border
Road drive till Rustaq
Wadi drive thru wadi Bani Awf
beautiful mountain village oasis of Bilat Sayt
Steep mountain drive thru Wadi Haat and Al Hamra and Tanuf
Drive up to Jebel Akdhar summit
Stay the night at furnished apartments pre-booked at Jabal AKhdar
Saturday: One or more following optional activities as you feel like:
Hiking
Trek thru the picturesque mountain villages
explore the local surroundings
Visit to Nizwa fort, the biggest and well restored fort in Oman and Nizwa Souq
Sunday:
Depart from Jebel Akdhar after breakfast
Wadi drive thru wadi Ghul
Visit Beehive tombs of Bat
Join the highway 21 at Dank
Enter UAE from Alain
I suggest all those wanting to join this trip confirm their participation before the 23rd of March as availability of furnished apartments cannot be guaranteed after that. Or else, carry your tents and enjoy the pleasures of the outdoors…
