certainly the most picturesque of the Gulf states!
have to drive to most places for a meal etc, but a small price to pay for a beautiful area!
great snorkelling/ diving: rays flipping out the water!!
visit Nizwah and you'll see the real mccoy with the Bedus coming down to the market to buy things...including a new shooter perhaps?
wind your way UP to Jebel Akdar and see the homes in the rocks...Tanuf...bombed to bits in the 60s and still the same!
watch the "falaj" system to make the water!
wonderful, wonderful place...enjoy!
