Greet the morning with a picturesque sunrise and breakfast.
We then split into two groups, each led by an experienced hike leader, and embark on a 3-hour balcony hike along Jebel Shams Canyon.

An Omani home-cooked lunch awaits us before we journey to Jebel Hatt, another of Oman's highest peaks, for dinner and an overnight stay.

The adventure continues with a hearty breakfast followed by an exhilarating day at Snake Canyon.
