Al Thowarah hot spring, Natural hot spring near Nakhal Fort, Oman.
Al Thowarah is a natural hot spring near Nakhal in the Muscat region, where mineral-rich water flows through a wadi creating a warm stream. The water is surrounded by palm groves and natural rock formations that frame the area.
Local communities have used this thermal spring for many centuries as a natural resource and meeting place. It has always held importance in the daily life of people living in this region.
Families come here to spend time together and enjoy the warm water in a natural setting. The spring serves as a social gathering place that has brought people together for many generations.
It is best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the area is less crowded. Wear comfortable shoes since the ground around the spring is rocky and uneven.
The water maintains a consistently warm temperature year-round, which supports distinctive plant and animal life in the surrounding area. This steady warmth creates a special habitat that stands out sharply from the dry desert landscape beyond.
