So, here’s a look at some of the best sand dunes, mountains, and wadis you can visit during your time here.
Jebel Akhdar Mountains

Wadi Bani Khalid
The Wadi Bani Khalid is a picturesque oasis that’s located a little north of Al Kamil Town. The water here is crystal-clear and perfect for some swimming. Just be sure to bring a modest swimsuit if you’re planning to jump in as you wouldn’t want to upset any locals.
