- Jebel Shams - The trip continues with a drive up to Jabal Shams (Jabal means Mountain, Shams means Sun). This mountain road leads to Jebel Shams Mountain, known as the Grand Canyon of Oman, standing at 3009 meters. It is one of Oman’s most adventurous mountains, offering thrilling off-road experiences and breathtaking views. The journey reaches the canyon view at 2000 meters, where there is a stop to enjoy the scenery and take photos.
- Wadi Nakhr Canyon - From Jabal Shams, the drive descends into Wadi Al Nakhar, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Middle East. It is renowned for its stunning sites and spectacular views. The name derives from the local word “necrosis,” meaning the process of rock sculpture or “erosion,” shaped by the valley’s water over time.
Wadi Al Nakhar is one of the deepest valleys in Oman due to its geographical features. The significant gap in Jabal Shams is a crucial water source, as its large opening leads to valleys and reefs forming the Al Nakhar valley.
- Misfat al Abreyeen - From Wadi Al Nakhar, the journey proceeds to Misfat Al Abriyeen. This charming village is perched on a steep slope at the foot of Jebel Shams and features old homes and narrow streets. It boasts a falaj system for numerous orchards, date palms, and vegetables. Spending time exploring the village is highly recommended.
The journey concludes with a return to Muscat from Misfat Al Abriyeen.
