Bibi Maryam
We got special permission to visit Bibi Mariam in Tiwi, Oman. This 10th Century tomb has been desolate for a number of years but is currently undergoing restoration. Built by Baha al-Din Ayaz, king of the Hormuz Empire, for his wife Bibi Maryam, makes this tomb Oman's version of the Taj Mahal. You can visit Bibi Maryam easily by driving out from Sur or Muscat. Underneath Bibi Maryam's tomb lies a whole labyrinth of underground mazes, which sadly cannot be explored.
