Arabian Crystal Tourism marks the ancient entrance to Oman's capital, a well trodden path on any Oman Roadtrip.
Oman is a country of surprise and contradiction. A place where new highways skirt crumbling ancient villages, medieval hilltop forts watch over modern palaces, and rugged mountains cut by deep, twisting canyons give way to vast, flat, rocky desert plains.
For thousands of years, the Omani people have been cultivating traditions, customs and ways of life distinctive to this corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Often overshadowed by its glitzy, modern city neighbours, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Oman still has the feel of a place flying largely under the radar.

We can visit the Wilayat of Ibra during our daily tours to the Bidya desert and Wadi Bani Khalid, as it is located on the same route. A quick tour of one hour is enough to cover the ancient village of Al Manzfah, which dates back to the Ya’ariba era 400 years ago. It was ruled by a woman from the Maskari tribe. The people of Al Manzfah worked in trade and used the famous port of Qalhat at that time by sailing wooden sailing ships that were made in the coastal city of Sur. Al Manzfah is famous for its huge palaces, which consisted of several floors, the most famous of which is Beit Al Darwaza, which will be included in our visit to this ancient archaeological city.
