The Daymaniyat are made up of several islands, it is an easy trip taking a boat out (roughly 40 min boat ride), once you get there, it is peace and quiet. The water is beautiful, lots of coral and sea life.

It's a really unique and beautiful pool formationq in a gorge with turquoise water. You have to walk 2 - 3 meters through a muddy path so don't bring your best shoes. The pools where you can swim are wonderful. A must if you are in Oman!
3. Wadi Al Arbeieen

Within an easy and scenic drive of Muscat Wadi Al Arbeieen provides the perfect balance between a picturesque walk, great place to swim and jump/dive off rocks and wonderful drive through a 10 km canyon to the coast. Well worth shortlisting on any visit to Oman and Muscat. Its also en-route to the Bimmah Sinkhole
