Rustag is a historic city in northeastern Oman, located about 150 kilometers west of Muscat, at the southern foot of the Hajar Mountains, with a unique combination of mountains and plains. This ancient city is known for its millennia-old heritage. The central attraction is the Rustaq Castle, built in the 12th century as the political and military center of the Omani empire, whose thick stone walls, exquisite carvings and system of underground cisterns are a fine example of traditional Omani architecture. Rustag is also revered for its natural hot springs, Ain al-Kasfa, which are rich in sulfur and said to have healing properties, attracting tourists and locals alike from the surrounding area. The city's traditional handicraft bazaars and ancient mosques make it an excellent destination for exploring Oman's history and nature, as well as the city's original Arab culture and simplicity.
