Adventure
Hike Around Jebal Shams – Oman’s Highest Peak
Close to the peak lies a deep chasm called the "An Nakhr Balcony", one of the most beautiful places ever visit.
This is the highest peak in the Arabian Peninsula, rising to an altitude of 3,004 metres above sea level, and has a number of versants (slopes) and summits.
You can explore this region along various routes. Our recommendations are the ‘Rim Walk’ (route W6A) and
the ‘Abandoned Village Walk’ (route W6). For the true adventurer and hiker, rise to the challenge of the well-known
‘Summit Walk’ (route W4). You will depart from the village of As Sab (1,800 m), walk up to 2,700 m
and then ascend to the peak at 2,997 m, where the views are sensational!
