Mountain scenery and small Omani villages

David_J, Nov 2025

Great way to see the interior of Oman, especially Jebel Shams and smaller villages with old mud brick homes and irrigation systems. Khalid was a great driver and chatted with us on all sorts of things. Would have been nice to have spent more time in Nizwa, but even 1.5 days in this region isnt enough to see everything it seems. Mountain resort was fine, with room for some small improvements, e.g. WiFi, breakfast delays, finding outlets in the room.
