RANDONNEE DE MUTRAH

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".

RAS AL HAMRA GOLF CLUB
Read moreOpened 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. Choice of lessons on reservation.
