Spend a full day with your guide exploring the Al Batinah region of Oman, with its relaxing hot springs, local markets and impressive, well-preserved forts. Begin with a visit to Barka, a small seaside town, where you can take in the sights and smells of the Fish Souq, with its buzzing atmosphere. Travelling inland, passing swaying date palm plantations, you’ll stop to take a dip in the warm Thora Spring waters and visit the Bahla Fort, the highest in Oman and a truly impressive World Heritage Site. Your guide will unravel its fascinating history, all held within its labyrinth of mudbrick walls.
In the afternoon, take in Rustaq’s equally impressive fort, soak in the Al Kisfr Hot Springs and explore the magnificent 18th-century Al Hazm Castle.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.
