Sohar (or Suhar in Omani) is a port about 3 hours by road north of Muscat. It's a good place to stop for families as well as culture lovers and adventurers who are just passing through.

My suggestion

Sohar is a possible stopping place for people leaving Muscat on the way to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the United Arab Emirates. Allow a maximum of half a day there. Get there by road from Muscat (preferably in a 4-wheel drive).
