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.
