Getting there is part of the fun: the drive to Qurayat takes you through rugged mountains. Qurayat itself is a pleasant fishermen town with several things to see and do.
Soon after taking the turn from Muscat at the Wadi Aday roundabout, the road cuts straight through rugged Eastern Hajjar mountains. It is a pleasure to drive this stretch, and it gives some nice mountain scenery typical for Oman. Rocky mountains, narrow valleys and wadis, small villages at the foot of the mountains, you see it all. When you finally come out of the mountains, Qurayat is a short drive through flat landscape. Once upon a time, this town was famous for the export of horses that were reared in the plains behind Qurayat. After it was sacked by the Portuguese, though, the town never regained its importance.
