O tej atrakcji
This is a world-class experience on top of the highest mountain Oman, Jebel Shams.
Climb the top 200m cliffs of a 2,000m high mountain like a pro, without any previous experience. This is what the Via Ferrata is all about.
In just one day, you’ll hike the famous Balcony Walk, visit the abandoned mountain village of Sab Bani Khamis, rest by a hidden lake, and tackle the Via Ferrata — all guided by a certified local adventure expert.
Our guide is not only trained and experienced, but also welcoming and culturally connected, offering stories, insight, and a warm introduction to mountain life.
After the trek, enjoy a simple and authentic home-cooked lunch served by a local Omani family under the palm leaves.
