Stop At: Bait Al Safah, Al Hamra, Oman
If you're not aware of Bait Al Safah yet, it's one of the first living museums in the country that allows you proper interaction with the locals. It's a sustainably renovated mud house right at the edge of Al Hamra's lush gardens and what is amazing about this attraction is how everything is kept as they were that a visit to its many rooms is like entering a time capsule. It's one of those experiences that you would pay gladly to try because it brings you inside a traditional Omani home where many of its best-kept secrets are unveiled before your very eyes.
