Explore the most beautiful places of Muscat on this eventful excursion and learn from your guide about the culture and history of the different places you will visit.
Your journey of discovery begins with a brief stop in the city of Nizwa, where you will admire the old village of Misfat Al Abriyeen. It lies on a mountain slope with old narrow stone paths that lead down into the valley.
Then enjoy a short coffee break in the Wadi Ghoul and at the foot of Wadi Nakhar. Meet the locals from Al Nakhar village and, with a little luck, watch goat hair carpets being knotted.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Jebel Shams, Al Hamra Oman
Now we continue into the mountains to the summit Djabal Shams, which is the highest peak of the al-Djabal al-Achdar mountains at 3,000 meters above sea level. Very close to the summit is one of the most wonderful places for visitors, the deep gorge “The Balcony of Al Nakhar”. Experience a fantastic view of the bottom of the gorge, its breathtaking depth and its rock formations furrowed by erosion.
