<\/span><\/h2>\nJebel Shams is, with a height of 3,000 meters, the highest mountain of the Hadji Mountains in northwestern Oman. Here you will also find Wadi Ghul, which is also called the Grand Canyon of Oman, a 500-meter-deep canyon.<\/p>\n
When driving from Nizwa to Jebel Shams, you can choose to make a stopover in Misfat Al Abryeen, a more than 400 years old town built against a mountainside, and to stop at the viewpoint over Valley Necrosis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>Balcony Walk<\/span><\/h3>\nDo you enjoy hiking? Then hiking the Balcony Walk is a must-do. This is a hike of about 4 kilometers that leads you, along the edge of Wadi Ghul, to an abandoned village at the end of the trail. From the end you walk the same way back to the beginning. The hike takes about 3 to 4 hours. This is including time to take some pictures en to relax a bit at the end of the trail.<\/p>\n
It is written on some blogs that a waterfall and a pool can also be found at the end of the trail. Unfortunately, when we hiked the Balcony Walk, it had been dry for a long time and there were none.<\/p>\n
