Itinerary:
🚙 05:30 AM - Pick-up from your location in Muscat, drive up to Jabal Akhdar.
We gather early in the morning to escape the heat of the day. After a short briefing, we begin the journey towards the highlands of Jabal Akhdar.
🌄 08:00 AM - Arrival at Wadi Sa’ada
The hike begins at the canyon entrance. From the very first steps, the landscape feels wild and untouched – steep rocky walls and the promise of hidden pools ahead.
Throughout the day – Full-day canyon hike
The route stretches almost 20 km through dramatic terrain. Expect long walking sections across rocky ground, refreshing breaks by natural pools, and occasional bouldering passages. Swimming is optional but a welcome way to cool down.
🚙 5:30 PM - End of hike and return to Muscat
After an intense but rewarding day, we head back, carrying with us the satisfaction of having conquered one of the toughest canyon hikes in Jabal Akhdar.
Important Notes:
✓ Fitness Level: Wadi Sa’ada is a challenging adventure. Expect a full-day trek of around 20 km, so good stamina and physical condition are important to fully enjoy the experience.
