|
|
|
Oman´s Grand Canyon is situated amidst the rocky terrain of the Jabal Shams Mountain which is over 3,000 meters 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. 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. |
