About this trail
A short but seriously challenging steep ascent from Qantab village to the flag post at the summit. The trail is marked with blue paint. From the top, 360-degree views of Jumeira Muscat Bay and the surrounding mountains.
Ideal for sunrise hikers — the views at first light over the bay are spectacular and absolutely worth the early start.
