Begin your adventure by driving to the foothills of the Jebel Akhdar mountain range. Our first stop is at the renowned Nizwa Souq, famous for its antiques and silver jewelry. Here, you can explore the vibrant market, interact with local vendors, and find unique treasures. A brief photostop at the iconic Round Tower Fort will give you a glimpse into the historical significance of this ancient city.

Our journey continues as we head towards Wadi Nakher, located in the depths of Oman’s deepest canyon. The drive itself offers stunning views of the rugged landscape, with towering cliffs and deep gorges. Wadi Nakher is a natural wonder, showcasing the raw beauty of Oman’s geology.

Next, we visit Misfah, a charming mountain village known for its stone dwellings that have stood the test of time. Walking through Misfah, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time, experiencing the traditional way of life in Oman. The village’s narrow lanes and terraced farms add to its unique charm.

As we make our way towards Jebel Shams, we stop at Wadi Ghul, a village famous for its terrace farming. The terraces are ingeniously constructed along the slopes, creating a stunning visual spectacle. This traditional farming method is not only beautiful but also a testament to the resourcefulness of Oman’s people.

Our final destination is Jebel Shams, the highest peak in the Jebel Akhdar range. Often referred to as the Grand Canyon of Oman, Jebel Shams offers breathtaking panoramic views. The sheer cliffs and expansive vistas make it a perfect spot for photography and soaking in the natural beauty.
