There was one more thing worth seeing on our way to Muscat:
"Bimmah Sinkhole (Arabic Hawaiyat Najm) is a water-filled depression, structurally a sinkhole, in the limestone. A lake of turquoise waters, it is 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep.
It is only about 600 m away from the sea, close to a town of Bimmah.
The sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to dissolution of the underlying limestone. However, locals believe that it was created by a meteorite, ‘Hawaiyat Najm’, which translates to ‘The Falling Star’ in Arabic, and hence the name."
