Stunning views of the mountains, beautiful Bilad Sayt and magnificent Nakhal fort. - I booked this trip directly with Star Tours Oman via email. The communication went easily and correctly. This tour takes you to the Hadjar Mountains with jaw-dropping views of the mountains. The village of Bilal Sayt is very picturesque. You must see it to believe it. Such a green oasis in the rugged landscape. We ended the trip with a visit to the Nakhal Fort. This is a beautiful fort in a fantastic landscape of mountains and thousands of palm trees. Thanks to my guide Ali who took me through the small mountain paths safely.
