This magnificent 1500-year-old fortress rises out of the mountain rock, towering high above the ancient village as if still warning would-be attackers of its ominous strength, It has witnessed many battles and is packed full of hidden escape routes and secret passages, You can stroll around the inside of this restored fortress and visit all the rooms which have been nicely decorated in the original old style, the view from the top of the fortress over the mountains and green date plantations is outstanding.

We had such a fantastic time wandering through the picturesque Wadi Bani Awf and exploring the charming village of Balad Sayt. The highlight for us was definitely the Nakhal Fort, with its rich history and stunning views from the top. While the hot springs were a nice way to relax, we did feel like we could have spent a bit more time soaking in the experience before heading back to Muscat in Oman.
4.2
We spent a remarkable day immersed in the rich culture and history of the area, with our visit to the fort being an unforgettable highlight that offered insights into the region’s past. The vibrant village we explored was a delightful surprise, showcasing the warmth of local life and stunning architecture. However, it would have been perfect if we had more time to unwind at the hot springs; we felt a bit rushed towards the end.
4.4
Exploring the stunning landscapes was a breath of fresh air, especially as we trekked through the winding paths and took in the breathtaking views. Relaxing in the natural hot springs after our visit to the ancient fort was a highlight, though we could have used a bit more time soaking in the warm waters. Overall, while a few stops felt a bit rushed, the adventure was an unforgettable way to connect with nature and each other.
