Barr Al Hikman beach

Barr Al Hikman is a "paradise" beach in Oman. There are many similar beaches in the area, but this one is one of the most popular. In fact, it is a long sandspit with few sandbanks nearby. It is a nice spot. But the best is to visit it in a group of cars. Swimming in the shallow water is possible during the high tide only. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
