Natural Crafts Rustaq

This spring emerges in a kind of small round crater a few meters in diameter, just next to a white mosque. The water emerges there at 45°C and is then channelled into a falaj, partly equipped with individual "cabins" that the locals use for soaking or ablution. The water is said to have medicinal virtues and its high sulphur content is said to be recommended for arthritis and rheumatism. The site is rather rudimentary and not very conducive to bikini.
