Oman Across Ages Museum

The billion-dollar museum in the middle of the country, worth the detour.

At Manah near Nizwa, a vast modern museum walks Oman from prehistoric seas to the renaissance years, immersive, interactive and genuinely world-class. If your loop passes Nizwa, this is the rainy-day-quality stop that happens to sit in the desert.
