If you want to experience Oman's dramatic desert landscape, the Al Hajar Mountains are reachable in under an hour via the road toward Nizwa, where you can drive through impressive wadis and visit ancient forts.
Along the coast north toward Seeb, you'll find beautiful beaches and the modern airport area, while a trip south along the coastal road toward Qantab offers rocky seascapes and traditional fishing villages. The best time to visit is November to March, when temperatures are pleasant for excursions.
