Sidab & its hidden coves
The 100/10 coves. My favourite hike in Muscat, with some of the best views on the coast.
Behind the fishing village of Sidab, a short rough hike drops you into coves you'd swear were photoshopped, clear turquoise water, empty sand, snorkelling straight off the beach. The two reels everyone asks about were filmed here.
