The Experience
What your day looks like
You will depart your hotel and proceed towards Jebel Shams Mountain. We drive up the Mountain to the stunning Grand Canyon of Oman in 2000 m. You can spend the afternoon walking around this famous Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon offers spectacular views over the surrounding valleys and Wadis below. Then we drive to Al Hamra, and into the old part of the village, to visit a cute little museum housed in one of the old restored houses within the village. A local Omani woman will show you around a traditional 7-bedroom house. They will also demonstrate how they used to make coffee, food, and pottery in the old days. Then we move on towards Misfat Al Abriyeen. This picturesque village lies on a steep slope at the foot of Jebel Shams, a few kilometers from the village of Al Hamra, and consists of old homes and narrow streets. It has a large Falaj system which supplies water for many orchards, date palms, and vegetables. It is worth to spend at least 1 ½ hours walking around the village. There are marked footpaths through the village and surrounding area. In the late afternoon, we drive back to Muscat.
