    The beauty of the town is appreciable, and also the way in which this beauty is enhanced.
    Having been engaged for most of the day on the "Balcony walk" trail, which overhangs Wadi Ghul, we were only able to arrive at dusk in Misfat al Abreyeen. Therefore we were unable - for example - to take advantage of the guided circuits in the "aflaj" of the town, i.e. the canals which since ancient times have brought water from the mountains to the rural or (as in this case) urban oases. I am very sorry to have missed this opportunity. Even so, however, I have come to appreciate the beauty of the town, and also the way in which this beauty is enhanced, by restoring the buildings, organizing B&Bs, cafes and other places open to the public. The historic center of nearby Al Hamra is probably not inferior to this in terms of values, but still appears largely semi-abandoned and ruined. It is to be hoped that he will follow the virtuous example of Misfat al Abreyeen.

    Traditional mud houses
    Misfat Al Abriyeen is a unique mountainous village located 1000 m above sea level. Traditional mud houses, lots of stairs, mountains and plantation in terraces create a great place for a relaxing break. We didn't sleep there and have chosen other place but definetely it could be nice spend an evening and night there in some restored buildings. There are many nice roof terraces there.

    Excellent place - really amazing
    By all means, do not give up on the walking trail along the Falaj. It is well marked and the views and atmosphere are amazing. Preferably do it late in the afternoon or early morning. Also, spend the sunset at the amazing veranda of Halwa Coffe - one of the best views you will ever get in Oman

This was an awesome experience visiting the old villages 200 300 years old.. you get to experience the real omani feel.. The clear spring water which flows through the village such a cool vibe.. This is not my first visit and will definitely not be my last.. just loved the place..

Amazing views and authentic feel of old Omani mud houses. I spent there a lovely afternoon walking through a part of town that looks run-down and was left that way for tourists' attraction - totally worth it.

This is something you can miss out on, but that’s only because we had traveled and experienced a lot of places in Oman, so this was nothing “wow”. It’s a historic mud village and if you have already checked out the izki mud houses then this is nothing too great
