Jebel Shams Camping and Balcony Trekking

Embark on a full Jebel Shams adventure starting with a hotel pickup and a scenic drive through the villages of Fanja, Birkat Al Mouz, and Al Hamra. As you ascend the mountain via a mix of blacktop and off-road terrain, you’ll take in breathtaking views of the rugged Omani landscape. Upon arrival at Jebel Shams, known as the "Mountain of the Sun", you'll set up base camp and enjoy a cultural evening under the stars while dinner is prepared. This immersive night gives you a chance to connect with nature and local traditions in one of Oman’s most awe-inspiring locations.

The next morning begins with a serene sunrise and freshly prepared breakfast, followed by the highlight of the trip — the Balcony Walk. Also known as the "Donkey Trek," this 4-hour guided hike follows an ancient trail over 300 years old, leading you to the abandoned village of San Bani Khamis. Perched on the edge of Oman’s Grand Canyon, this trek offers dramatic cliffside views and insight into life in the mountains 70 years ago. After the hike, the group will return to camp, pack up, and make the scenic drive back to your hotel, completing your first full adventure in Oman.
