We've got 6 full days (7 nights) to spend in Oman. My current thoughts are as follows:
- 2 nights in Muscat, so one day for sightseeing and to arrange rental car to take into UAE
- Drive along coast to Fujairah across UAE border. Stay at Hilton.
- Drive to Al Ain, crossing border into Oman and then out of Oman to Al Ain. (I see no reasonable alternative to the border crossings.) Stay at Hilton Ai Ain.
- Drive to Muscat, visiting Nizwa enroute
- Final 3 nights in Muscat
- Possible day trip from Muscat to Nakhl Fort and Hazm Fort. Worthwhile? Is a 4-wheel drive essential?
Would you add a night in either Fujairah or Al Ain? What is there to see and do if we add a day? How long will the drive take between the two, given the border crossings?
All thoughts would be much appreciated.
