Oman’s Grand Canyon is situated amidst the rocky terrain of the
Jabal Shams Mountain which is over 3,000 meters is making it the
highest mountain in Oman. The word Jabal Shams literally means
“Sun-Mountain” in Arabic. The view from the top over the Grand
Canyon is absolutely breathtaking. The trip will be with a 4WD. Here one can see the ancient
rock carvings and paintings which are said to be more
than 2,000 years old. |

There is also a pre historic hut. The Jabal Shams is the highest
peak in the 700 km long Hajar mountain range. You might even be
pleasantly surprised to see a few shepherds accompanying their
grazing sheep! Experience an untamed and rugged countryside, a
pristine world interrupted here and there by tiny settlements.
Return to Muscat via Birkat al Mauz, the deserted village of
clay.
