Hijrat Al Sheikh
A 300-year-old village where the falaj still runs the show.
'The sheikh's room': three centuries of village, working falaj channels threading the farms exactly as classical Omani irrigation intended, a little market, a walk-in bird enclosure, and more coffee shops than a village this size has any right to. Come to walk slowly and sit long.
