We were so impressed
with all the outdoor opportunities right in Muscat's backyard. You could
be downtown one minute and three minutes later be somewhere so remote that
you would think no one would find you.
Our hosts recommended
this particular Muscat hiking tour - it is one every tourist should do
if they visit Oman.
We started in Muttrah
and within 5 minutes were up in the Wadi with no one else around.
We did not see
another human being for 1 1/2 hours, when we met a French family coming
the other direction. The views were glorious, the hike just stressful
enough to break a sweat, and the sights cool enough to make us all feel
very 'Indiana Jones'. In fact, the most difficult part was hiking back
to where we'd left our car - we were looking for it down the wrong road!!
