The Grand Canyon of Oman: Jebel Shams

From here we drive along Wadi Nakhr, also referred to as the Grand Canyon with breathtaking views. At the end of the Wadi is a village where rugs with bright colors and designs are made by local weavers.  Visit the local weaver and haggle for their wares. 

From here we make our way up to Jebel Shams, the highest peak in Oman at 3000 meters. From here you will have an outstanding view deep into the Grand Canyon of Oman. 

Picnic lunch near the rim. Visit the local weaver and haggle for their wares. 

On our way back, we will stop at Misfat Al Abrein, a picturesque village strapped on to the side of a mountain.  As you walk around this beautiful village where time has come to a standstill, you will be moved by the simplicity and friendliness of the people. Return to Muscat.
