ANY BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS FOR PHOTOGRAPHY?? (Muscat)

Dear All,

I am an aspiring photographer ( pretty young to be said so)...I would like to improve my photography skills. Can anyone suggest some good locations near by Muscat area ( were we can visit and come back on the same day itself). Does Muscat have any photography clubs. i have heard about OMAN PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB at AZAIBA. Does any one give seminars or workshops on photography?
