The day I visited here the air temperature was a scalding 45C (113F) I found this tranquil lush verdant place nestling at the foot of towering red cliffs surrounded by the baking sands and it gave a welcome respite from the fierce Arabian desert all around.It had cool waters and shade an idyllic location in the spectacular place that is The Sultanate Of Oman.
