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.
I returned to Misfat, and explored the village itself. Steep and narrow streets underlined the age of this village: it was built when people still carried their stuff personally. There is no space for carriages, let alone motorized vehicles. Houses are built on rocks also here, where needed, steps are hewn into them to allow people to walk up and down the alleys. When I got close to the main gate of the village, I heard chanting men, and stumbled upon an Eid celebration for the end of Ramadan right on the small square. I stood and watched, as the late afternoon sunlight was falling right on the rocks above the square. The men were rocking back and forth while chanting to the rhythm of drums. It was a proper end to a long day of exploring central Oman. The views of the surrounding mountains was even better than before with the warm, orange sunlight.
