On Friday we had another trip out of Muscat, we decided to re-visit Nakhal with another Estonian lady and her kids. Nakhal is about 100 km from Muscat, a town that has got its name by date palms. Besides green date palm spots it is famous for its hot springs. But instead of words, let the photos tell its story about our day:
In Nakhal, everybody got their feet wet...
... and we could enjoy fish therapy (all free!).
While Marie had her beauty sleep in the car, the others visited Nakhal fort.
Then we decided to discover some off-road Oman and followed the route to Wadi Mistall. First it was paved, then we followed the path in wadi (wadi is a (dry) river bed) until it got too tricky to drive on with the cars we have got, so we decided to park and take a walk in the village (without knowing exactly where we were).
There were breathtaking views...
...and we realized we were 2,5 km from the destination.
But we decided to leave it for another time and enjoy the moment: green plantations on the mountain sides...
...time for family photo...
...and photo-hunting the goats...
...until it was call for praying and the goats rushed away as well (for praying?).
But some stayed for more posing.
And this is how it all ended...
...but it was worth it:)
It looks really beautiful over there!
