Where to practice an individual sport Muscat

The C38a, as the route is called (yellow-white-red markings), begins with a flight of stone steps, reaches a viewpoint overlooking the souk, the corniche and the port, before descending into Mutrah, offering several panoramic views. This path was once the main route linking Mutrah's old town to the port. It is thought to have been used as far back as the Magan civilization 5,000 years ago. It also features some of the best-preserved and most exposed volcanic rock outcrops in the world, known as "ophiolites".

This trek can be made from either Sifah or Qurayyat, a small town south of Sifah on the coast. Total length 21 km, so bring good hiking boots, as the paths, like everywhere in Oman, are rocky and sometimes slippery. There are several places on the trek where you can cool off and swim, either in the wadis or in the sea.
Arriving in Sifah by car, turn right and continue to the end of the tarmac road. Then turn left onto the unpaved road leading to the sea. The traffic lights are visible at the end of this track. It is still possible to drive to the beginning of the trail, for about 2km, with a 4x4 vehicle. The trail is well signposted and often runs parallel to the coast. It crosses several wadis into which you have to descend and then climb again. It also passes several magnificent creeks where you can swim.
At the two-thirds point, the trail descends to a very long beach called Abu Dawood. This is the ideal place to take a break, feed and swim in the sea. You then have to cross the entire wadi to find the marks on the other side again. The trail then climbs back up to a plateau and the marks are harder to find. The trail then descends again to the beach, which you must walk along before starting the climb up the rocks opposite. The trek ends in the village of Qurayyat near the flamingo lake.

Founded in 1971, he is the dean of golf in the Sultanate. In the heart of a wadi, a stone's throw from the city centre, with a panoramic view of the mountains and Muscat from certain holes, this old sand course has been grassed and now offers 5,967 metres of challenge, Par 72. A few carts are available, but not too many as Ghala advocates walking and is the only one of the 5 Muscat golf courses that you will be able to cover entirely on foot. On site: driving range and putting green, Golf Academy, Club House, Pro shop, restaurant and bar.

The legitimate offspring of diggers and pharaonic ambitions, this 18-hole PGA Links cavorts and undulates along the seafront to the east of the Al Mouj marina. From the entire course, you can admire breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea and the Hajar Mountains. Technically speaking, the course is a 6,675-metre Par 72 designed by Australian champion Greg Norman. The golf course features a driving range, a 9-hole Par 3 course lit in the evening, and a Club House with proshop and restaurant - open continuously from 6.30 a.m. to 10 p.m. for a snack, a drink or a meal.

The territorial waters near Muscat are full of fish and it is very nice to try to hook tuna, barracudas, kingfishes, sea breams, etc... Created in 2008, Alsansool is the first nautical company in Oman to specialize in fishing. We are dealing here with specialists who know the best spots and know how to identify the best places to go fishing according to the seasons. Like the vast majority of marina providers, Al Sansool also offers dolphin watching cruises.

Opened in 1969, Ras Al Hamra was originally an all-sand course. It has kept its desert spirit, but has been reworked to provide grassed greens and fairways, planted with native trees and shrubs. Situated on the seafront, it offers a typical Omani landscape of rocky hills against a backdrop of arid wadi. The great feature of this 18-hole par 71 by 6,500 meters is that it is fully lit and can therefore be played in the evening during the hot season. The same goes for the driving range.
