At Dibba Farm in Oman’s Musandam peninsula, tomato vines grow tall on either side of a narrow dirt path. Elsewhere in the greenhouse, purple and green vegetables sit low enough to see the length of the beds. For guests staying at Six Senses Zighy Bay, the farm offers a way to spend three hours getting acquainted with the ingredients before sitting down to lunch.
The resort calls the visit Hay Day. Guests can plant and harvest vegetables, taste some of the produce and help care for the animals. There’s a cheese-making class, too. For anyone who usually encounters cheese already cut and wrapped, that may be the most interesting part of the visit. Local dates and Omani coffee are included, followed by a farmer’s lunch on the verandah.
Planning a visit. Six Senses lists Hay Day at OMR 80++ per person for three hours, including the class, tastings and lunch. Ask the resort for the final price including charges, availability on your dates and transport arrangements before booking. The resort describes this as an experience for staying guests. If you’re visiting Musandam independently, check access directly before making the trip. Hay Day at Six Senses Zighy Bay.
