A must-visit place if you are in Oman... Rustaq

As I mentioned before, there is hardly anything to do when you are in Sohar -no malls, centres, shops, restaurants and open bazaars- so you end up with plenty of time to go on road trips. Here is a place that is about 2 hour away from Sohar and 1 hour away from Muscat.... Rustaq.

There are plenty of hot springs in Oman and this place is one of them, you can drink from the hot-spring in the designated area and you can also swim in a different area. There are 2 divided areas for men and women to use (you are not allowed to take photos in the women's area), it is simply superb.

This is the city's fort
