In fact after you have you nice late breakfast, it would be a good time to get yourself a massage and then maybe you could just laze around in the pool.  The children could play in the sand and have their own fun. The thing is that Muscat happens to be a mixture of modern building that is quite impersonal. There are shopping malls, mosques, souks a lot of sand and lovely tarmac roads.

The Muttrah happens to be the oldest souk just outside town. If you actually do like jewelry then you could prepare yourself to be completely dazzled. The necklaces are bracelets here are made quite exotically and the designs could leave you spellbound. There is so much gold everywhere.  If you are on a budget, you might want to keep you fiancé or your wife away!

The traditional khanjar is what is the most easily available here as it is of national importance.  This is also part of the Oman mans traditional attire.  If you are looking for more adventure then you could indulge in some serious Bedouin camping. There is an all night desert camp and it is also very good for children.  This is what is called adventure. You should also ask for some serious comfort.

You can actually chill out in actually Arabic Bedouin style.  They will take you deep into the desert with nothing but a tent and possible some cattle as well.  The huts and the tents are made quite well and are dotting around the beautiful orange sand that is just all over the place.  You can get lovely artifacts which are both taste full and worth picking up as souvenirs.

One thing that you certainly won’t expect is that these tents have both electricity and air conditioning! How is that for a tent in the desert?

In the morning you should just indulge in a nice long camel ride which happens to be quite soothing for the back.  You could then later on head over to Nizwa which is a giant ancient fort that is located in the capital of Oman. The fort is here from the seventh century.

You might probably come across a man, dressed up in the traditional ‘dishdasha’ which is a very meager and flimsy protection with any regard to the kind of heat that this place receives.  You might wonder; if there is no habitation around, so what exactly this fellow would be doing here!

Right ahead, you might suddenly come across a few date palms that appear like a mirage on the horizon, only it isn’t a mirage. It is the real deal, for real! There are lots of people who come here again and again over the years because the very essence of this place is the charm of another lifestyle.  You might most probably come across a wadi or oasis. This almost swells out of the ground looking like a Christmas miracle. The wide stretches of orange sand and sand rocks are all over now and all you see is large rows of lush fields, you could also spot thee crude irrigation canals that feed the crop. Crude and ancient, although very effective, mind you!

You might come across many groves of date palms then again there is the huge green pool of cool clear water that gleams in humble temptation, inviting and irresistible.

This might be a good time for you to change towels and get some rejuvenation. If you got kids along, get them out of the car and have them run around a little from all the constricted sand ride could get hectic.

When you bother checking out the wadi, you would see the many years of creaks and crevices which the wadi streams into from!

The water is somehow quite cold and might get you wondering, but don’t! All you need to do here is enjoy the wadi and lose yourself from the escape of the sandy, dusty, dry heat of the road.

You could stay at the Chedi in the capital of Oman, which is Muscat. The Chedi is a highly stylized hotel that has amazing interiors that has given this place quite an attractive reputation.

Everything here is white. The rooms are beautiful, designed in an ultimate style with is quite minimalist with really good taste. The gardens here looks beautiful  they are quite lush with trimmed hedges which make geometric mazes and there is lighting in the evenings which is perfect as it is well planned and gives relief to the many beautiful sculpted plants and tress that look more like show pieces than anything!
