Overview

Jabal Shams Overnight is a two-day PRIVATE adventure that involves wandering through time in Bahla UNESCO Fort and Bahla’s traditional market. On this trip, we will chase the Tropic of Cancer on the breathtaking mountains, hike above the clouds at the top of Oman’s grandest canyon, and overnight at 2000m above sea level under one of the starriest skies in Oman. 

The next day, we will explore Yamani architecture in the old mud-brick town of Al-Hamra and then leave the trail behind on a breathtaking 4×4 adventure trip through Wadi Bani Awf, one of Oman’s geological paradises, and visit Oman’s most traditional and picturesque mountain village.
