MISFAT AL ABRYEEN

Nestled in the foothills of the Al Hajar Mountains, Misfat AL Abryeen is a little mountainous hamlet in Oman. Although not well equipped with tourism facilities, Misfat Al Abryeen makes for an offbeat side trip while in the city. Labyrinthine alleyways, flat terraced mountains and quaint little houses on stones imbue a rustic old charm to the place.

Most of the village abounds in plantations growing pomegranates, apricots and bananas, and offers quite the sight to behold.
