Jebel Shams Tours and Tickets - page 2

This was such a lovely experience! While we had backpacks with the supplies we needed, our guide kindly carried extra water and snacks for us. (So technically we didn’t need to bring anything other than ourselves) While the majority of the trail was straightforward, it was extremely helpful to have guidance to get to the small lake after the abandoned village. If you’re interested in that, expect to climb up some larger boulders. Totally doable, but make sure your knees and hips are feeling good before hand. The views were spectacular and it was really interesting to see the abandoned village. For animal lovers, there are multiple goats that hang out hoping for snacks from hikers along the way. Prepare for a three hour car ride each way and approximately five hours to do the hike while leisurely taking photos. The mountain roads are windy and bumpy at times, so take appropriate measures if you tend to get carsick. A clean restroom stop is provided at the village before and after the hike and there are a couple of portable toilet options closer to the start. Really loved this adventure outside of Muscat!

I had a great day, travelling alone. Mohammed was an excellent guide, very informative. We left Muscat at 7am and arrived in Nizwa in time to catch the end of the Friday goat market - well worth seeing. The souq was interesting and helpful to have a guide then sufficient time to look round the fort. The drive to the canyon view point is spectacular as is the canyon, amazing views. The village of Al Hamra is well worth visiting, more beautiful views and interesting fauna and irrigation system. Lunch was excellent at a local restaurant, reasonably priced. Altogether an excellent day, we were out for 11 hours.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend. Tour lasted about ten hours and the guide was very generous with his time and stories.

We had an amazing time full day tour in cultural and mindblowing places of Oman. Special compliments to our very professional, knowledgable and very friendly tour guide Adil! Can't even recommend more! Already planning my return trip to Oman!

amazing experience highly recommend. The tour guide was very friendly, informative and accomodating. We had a lovely time experiencing and learning about the rich history of Oman and the natural wonder of Jabel Shams. We especially enjoyed exploring the mountain village of Misfat al Abriyin, walking through the local houses and mountain passageways. Definitely a must-do in Oman, it's the best way to experience the country through adventure.

We had an incredible experience visiting Jabal Shams! Every moment was so special and breathtaking. We are very thankful for having Fahad as our tour guide. Fahad was kind and patient all throughout the trip. We look forward to visiting Oman in the future again!

Great experience! Guide was good, views were amazing. Would highly recommend doing the Balcony Walk. Good shoes or boots are recommended, but at no point is the path so narrow that you'd be scared. It is a gentle downhill slope on the way out, but that means a steady uphill climb on the way back - but if you're moderately fit you'll be ok.

Very nice trip to Nizwa and Jebel Shams - Yassir is a great guide and driver, sharing loads of knowledge about Oman. Amazing canyon :-) But be prepared for long drives.
