About this trail
The longest trail in the Muscat Governorate. The first 5–7km involve brutally steep terrain with unstable rocks — for experienced hikers only. Beyond the hills it becomes a stunning coastal walk.
Dramatic Hajar mountain walls dropping directly into the sea. Navigation skills are absolutely essential on this rarely completed route.
