Jebel Shams Overnight Experience

Hike 3km along the Jebel Shams Balcony trail, a 200 year old route which leads to the abandoned village of Sab Bani Khamis and the hidden lake. From here, you have the option to hike back the same route or climb the Via Ferrata. This exciting activity involves a 200m climb up the cliff using a steel cable. Camp overnight within the grounds of Sama Heights Resort which offers access to bathrooms. The following morning, the group will visit the picturesque village of Misfat Al Abriyeen before driving back to Muscat.
