Mirbat
The frankincense port town of Mirbat is one of Oman's more hidden gems and visitors arrive to the sight of two miniature horse statues sitting atop a pair of columns. They act as a reminder of the history of the place, which was once a centre for breeding Arabian steeds.

Dhow Cruises and Kayaking
‘Dhows’ are the slender, wood-built sailing vessels that traditionally plied the waters of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, and which carried pilgrims to and from the Arabian Peninsula for the Haj.
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
