Make The Most Of Your Day Trip To Oman With These Underrated Spots

Oman has long been a favorite holiday destination for UAE residents. Not only is it just a stone's throw away from the region, it's also perfect for those on a limited budget and time for holidays. But are you tired of visiting the same three spots every time you go to Oman?

Here are three new underrated spots to add some excitement to your day trip to Oman.

Sulphur Springs At Al Batinah

Oman is amazing for encountering lovely little private beaches where you can swim for hours without the interruptions and crowds you'd face on the busy beaches of Dubai. But you can take that experience a step further by driving to Ain Sahban, a water spring in the Al Batinah region of Oman, near Sohar. These beautiful light blue pools of water are rich in sulphur. Bathing in sulphur-infused water is known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. It's also said to heal the skin and has high relaxing properties.

Hike Through Snake Gorge

If you're an adventure junkie, Oman offers plenty of chances to get your adrenaline pumping on holiday with several gorges and hiking spots across the country. Snake Gorge might sound intimidating, but don't worry, the name comes from the snake-like curvature of the gorge, not from actual snakes. Climb the rocks and dip your feet in the calming, bubbling brooks here!

Navigate Through The Sumat Natural Park

Not many people know about this stunning little natural park located in the Al Batinah Governorate in Oman. The Sumat Natural Park is a natural oasis of sunlight and water that can give you and your family a taste of the rural charm of the region. The park, which also houses Oman's longest tunnel, offers shimmering waters and waterfalls where you can swim and indulge without interruptions. There's also a lovely farm perfect for those Instagram snaps. Quickly visit this local favorite before it becomes too popular!
