Insider tip — Ain Al Thawwarah is a remarkable thermal spring that erupts through ancient ophiolite rock near the historic fort town of Al Rustaq in Oman's Al Batinah South governorate. The warm waters flow through a palm grove oasis where locals have bathed for generations, and separate pools are maintained for men and women following Omani tradition. The geological setting — hot springs emerging from exposed oceanic crust — is scientifically unusual and visually striking. Pair the springs with a visit to Rustaq Fort, one of Oman's most impressive medieval castles, just a few kilometers away.
