Spectacularly located and with houses built on rocks, Misfat seems to cling to the rocks of the date-tree covered mountain it sits on and has successfully done so for a long time.
Once in the old part of town, I walked the steep and rocky streets to where I found a small square with a small shop. Here, people gathered, this obviously is the local get-together place. You can enter the village through a gate, leading to narrow streets and ancient stone houses which are integrated into the rocky foundations of Misfat. I chose to first walk down, towards the date plantations. Here, houses are built right on top of big rocks. Soon, I reached the falaj or traditional irrigation channel which is a popular walk which takes you past date plantations and into open territory with watchtowers and views of the wadi below.
