The fort is a museum today and offers splendid views of this ancient town and the surrounding mountains. Then we drive to Al Hamra, to visit the old village and see the tradition homes their . Then we move on towards Misfath al Abreen. This picturesque village lies on a steep slope at the foot of Jebel Shams, a few kilometres from the village of Al Hamra and consists of old homes and narrow streets. It has a large Falaj system which supplies water for many orchards, date palms and vegetables. There are marked footpaths through the village and surrounding area. In the late afternoon we drive back to Muscat.

Venturing into the vast desert and dunes of Oman’s Empty Quarter isn’t advisable unless by guided tour. This private full-day trip from Salalah lets you visit this untouched region with a driver-guide to handle off-road trails, show you the sights, and avoid you getting lost. Take in the massive dunes and ruins of the ‘lost city’ of Ubar, absorb the remote emptiness, and more; all without transport or navigational worries.
