Wakan in Wadi Mistal in the Wilayat of Nakhal witnesses a heavy turnout of visitors to enjoy apricot and peach season, which begins in January. The best time to visit Wakan is from mid-May to end of August, the harvesting season for both the fruits. Tourism and trade flourish during this season, as this is one of the few areas in the Sultanate of Oman where apricots and peaches grow. High altitude and cool weather are suitable for the plantation of both fruits. As the apricot trees bloom, the village turns into a place with fairytale scenes and stunning scenery.
