The Grand Canyon of Oman

Available for Booking

The deepest canyon in the Middle East and the second deepest in the world after Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Wadi Ghul in Oman is a spectacular site with its rock formations and layers. From Jebel Shams, the top of the mountain at 3000m, to the flat area below, you can see one kilometer straight down into the canyon, making the view absolutely stunning. The journey to the top is preceded by visits to some remote mountain villages and untamed and rugged countryside, a pristine world interrupted here and there by tiny settlements.
