Jebel Shams is the highest point in Oman and is known in Arabic as
the ‘Mountain of the Sun’. More popularly, Jebel Shams is coined as the
‘Grand Canyon in Oman’, as the dramatic cliff edges provides thrill
seeking trekkers and road trippers a great summit view into a thriving
narrow stretch of narrow gorge.
Jebel Shams is also popular with local Omani families as a great picnic location to escape the relentless Middle Eastern heat. Needless to say, this popularity has prompted local authorities to pave very good roads to the summit and casual road trippers can rejoice.
Visiting Jebel Shams is highly recommended as a day trip or a 2-day trip. The cool temperature and sharp cliffs offer a very sharp contrast to the hot and flat landscape typical in other parts of Oman.
