OK, so here's the last of my Oman explores. To finish off it's….more crumbling buildings! Feel really privileged to have been able to do some exploring in Oman.
The last set of photos are from the Al Hamra area, in land some 200km from Muscat. The village of Al Hamra has many abandoned buildings but sadly as fate would have it didn't get time to do an explore at the centre of the town. I did manage to explore a big abandoned house on the edge of the town which I posted as my first report on Oman. See here:

Anyhow, these sites are in and around Al Hamra. Old doorway of a crumbling house in Bahla:

Up on the plateau above Al Hamra is Misfah Al Abreen. There are many abandoned houses:

Next it was on to a place the other side of Al Hamra called Bilad Sayt. Here there was a real concentration of abandoned houses:

Some of the archways over the road didn't look too safe:

Finally we drove past the abandoned village at Wadi Ghul. It's a real scramble to get up to the old stone-built town and I now regret not doing that one.
