Rustaq Tours and Tickets

Admire the forts and oases of rural Oman on this private full-day trip from Muscat. Accompanied by a private guide, travel by air-conditioned vehicle to the coastal town of Barka to visit its morning fish market and restored house-turned-museum of Bait Na'am to learn about life here in the 1600s. Then, drive through gorgeous palm groves and 'wadis' (dry river beds) to see three of Oman's beautiful forts, Al Hazm, Rustaq and Nakhl. View each splendidly restored fort, and then visit the natural springs at Thowarah before returning to Muscat.

Oman's hill forts more than justify a guided 4x4 tour: freeing you from driving across what can be rough terrain and letting you focus on the forts' beauty, history, and surrounding scenery. This private tour from Muscat delivers: whisking you to 17th-century Nakhal Fort, up to the Ain Towarah hot springs, and then to Rustaq Fort. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off, lunch, and entry fees are included.
