Roadtrip to Muscat
Oman is the oldest continuously independent state in the Arab world. Located in an area bordering the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the country shares land borders with Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen. We left from Dubai for a road-trip of 3 days to and through the middle part of Oman. During our trip, we enjoyed the amazing nature, wadis and beautiful ancient cities of heritage and culture. Muscat is the capital city and was our furthest milestone on this trip.
Here is our itinerary ⬇️
Day 1: Dubai - Muscat (450 km) (via border crossing Hatta) (overnight Muscat).
Day 2: Muscat - Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque (17 km) - Birkat Al Mouz (131 km) - Nizwa (22 km) - (Wadi) Tanuf (23 km) - Misfah Al Abriyeen (37 km) (overnight Misfah).
