Al Thowarah Hot Springs Tourism

Al Thowarah Hot Springs, also known as Ain Al Kasfa, are natural hot springs located in the town of Barka in Oman. These springs are renowned for their warm, sulphur-rich waters, which emerge from the ground at temperatures of around 45 degrees Celsius. The constant flow of water has created a small oasis in the region surrounding the springs, with lush greenery contrasting the arid desert landscape. The hot springs are a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking relaxation, leisure, and the potential therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters. Facilities such as changing rooms and small cafes enhance the visitor experience. The site also holds cultural significance in the local community and contributes to the agricultural activities in the area through irrigation. Over the past years, efforts have been made to preserve and maintain the springs while providing access to visitors.
