Travel Diaries - Visit to the Hawiyyat Najm Park in Oman

in travel •  2 years ago 

Last whole week my Cousin sister and her daughters were in Muscat with me, so I was taking them around to all the tourist spots in and around the city. When one visits Oman this is a place which people try to visit as it's one of the most famous attractions in the Country. In the Park is the Sink Hole which is known as the Bimah SInk Hole. It's a natural formation. Though there are many folklores for this place but the scientific explanation is that the sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to dissolution of the underlying limestone. However, locals in the olden times used to believe this sinkhole in the shape of a water well was created by a meteorite, hence the Arabic name Hawiyyat Najm which means the deep well of the (falling) star.

The Fish spa is famous over here which people come to enjoy and also swim in here. It's free to come here and enjoy this place. That's the beauty of Oman that majority of the tourist attractions which are natural sights are all free for everyone to visit. Be it for any other Country, I am sure there would be entry fee to visit the place. I have visited this place multiple times. Whenever I have guest this is a must visit place :-) It's one and a half hour drive from home, very scenic drive cutting through the Mountains.

Nowadays they have put up a sign board for not jumping but still people do that, they climb up and jump.

It's a steep climb down, so one has to be fit to go down and come up again

It's always fun to visit this place and when it's with family it gets all the more special. In the coming days I am going to put up a few posts on my travels in Oman with family and show you all around our beautiful land.

Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸
