Sifah Beach
The easy wild beach an hour from town — with a famous surprise in the shallows.
The beach at Al Sifah: long sand, clear water, mountains behind, an hour from Muscat. And some days, baby reef sharks cruise the shallows at your feet — harmless, skittish and completely mesmerising (yes, the reel was filmed here).
