Our last excursion took us to Wadi An Nakhur, the Grand Canyon of Oman.
Just getting up there is spectacular and there are also some sights along the way, but we unfortunately had little time left. Once up there, you have the choice of a nine-kilometre hike up to Oman’s highest mountain, Jabal Shams, at 2,997m, or a much shorter walk along the rock face of the upper end of Wadi An Nakhur.
The views into the canyon are spectacular, but can only be reproduced to a limited extent with photos. For this reason I refrain from further pictures here.
Had we had more time, I’m sure we would have stayed a night and climbed Jabal Shams. So, like many other hikes, we will have to postpone this until a later visit to Oman.
