Oman: To the View Camp!

So after The lovely night in the desert, it was time to pack up and head on to the next place! On the way we first stopped at Jabreen Castle, which is one of the most famous forts in Oman. It was a massive castle and my favorite aspect was that the leader's horse had its own room!

We drove a bit more and came to a fort (the Nizwa fort, I believe) which is undergoing renovation and will eventually open. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and will be extremely impressive when completed.

We then had a bit of lunch that we picked up at a restaurant and then ate at a nice picnic area outside, enjoying the sunshine. And then we continued on to an old settlement of stone and mud houses. The name of the place is Misfat Al Abriyeen and was really a treat to walk through. They divert the water using little canals and irrigate their palm trees, mangoes, corn, etc that way.

After that visit, we made the trek up the mountain to check into my home for the next two nights, the View Camp, and as the name suggests, it has a great view. Two more nights in a tent, but the view is worth it!
