Off the beaten track

Muscat: On our way to the Al Ayn Tombs from Wadi Ghul, we found this dirt road that took us on a more exciting drive through the mountains.

We discovered that it went through the hamlet of Sint.

We stop for the view a couple of times on lookout points above the valley floor.

Going through Sint and Mahaffah, it was a quicker and more interesting route to Al Ayn.

If you are the adventurous type, you may opt to take the path less travelled when going for a drive in Oman.
