Full-day private adventure to Jabal Shams

Embark on a thrilling, full-day private adventure to Jabal Shams, often called the "Grand Canyon of Arabia." This journey takes you deep into the rugged heart of the Al Hajar Mountains to the highest peak in Oman, standing proud at over 3,000 meters. Your English-speaking guide or driver will navigate the scenic mountain roads from Muscat, offering stunning vistas of Oman's diverse landscapes along the way.

The climax of the tour is the breathtaking panoramic view over the deep Wadi Ghul canyon—a truly unforgettable sight. You'll have the opportunity to walk along a section of the famous Balcony Walk trail, a moderate path carved into the cliffside that provides an exhilarating perspective of the vast gorges below. Please note that due to time limitations, only a partial hike is possible, but the views are spectacular.

Along the tour, you'll also pass by traditional Omani mountain villages and ancient terraced farms, allowing a glimpse into the resilient mountain culture of the region. This private tour is available year-round and offers a dramatic and immersive outdoor experience.
