Description

Discover Al Hoota Cave, Misfat Al Abriyeen, and Bait Al Safah | 4-Hour Journey Al Hoota Cave: Step into the heart of Oman's ancient history with a visit to Al Hoota Cave, an underground marvel over 2 million years old. Nestled at the base of Jebal Shams, Oman's grand canyon, this captivating ecosystem boasts four expansive lakes, with the largest stretching over 800 meters. Beneath the surface, you'll encounter the elusive Garra Barreimiae, a rare blind fish species. But that's not all – the cave is also home to a diverse array of creatures, including mouse-tail bats, hunting spiders, Arabian toads, and wadi racer snakes. As the only underground attraction of its kind in the Arabian Peninsula, Al Hoota Cave is a testament to Oman's commitment to preserving and sharing its natural wonders with visitors from around the world. Misfat Al Abriyeen: Elevate your journey to Misfat Al Abriyeen, a mountainous village perched 1,000 meters above sea level amidst the picturesque mountain foothills of wilayat Al Hamra. Named after the Al Abri tribe, the village thrives on its terraced agriculture, cultivating a bounty of fruits from bananas and pomegranates to papayas, mangoes, and citrus trees. This timeless village reveals its rich heritage through: Falaj Systems: Explore ancient water channels dating back over a millennium. Farms: Witness the age-old irrigation systems that have nourished these lands since 2,500 BC. Cafe Delight: Savor a cup of local coffee at 'Rogan,' a charming coffee shop nestled amidst the lush farms. Bait Al Safah: Uncover the living history of Oman at Bait Al Safah, one of the nation's first living museums. This sustainable mud house stands on the fringes of Al Hamra's verdant gardens and offers an immersive journey back in time. Preserving its original charm, every room in Bait Al Safah is a portal to traditional Omani life, revealing its best-kept secrets and inviting you to engage with the locals.
