About Grand Canyon & Nizwa Private Tour

Experience the beauty of Oman with a day trip that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Muscat to explore Nizwa and Jabal Shams, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Oman." Accompanied by a knowledgeable private guide, your adventure begins with a drive through the majestic Hajar Mountains to reach Nizwa, the former capital of Oman. In Nizwa, you'll have the chance to explore the historic Nizwa Fort and Castle, immersing yourself in Oman's rich heritage. Then, prepare for an off-road adventure as you journey to Jabal Shams, where breathtaking vistas await, offering unparalleled views of the region. Jabal Shams, known as the "Mountain of the Sun," is the crowning jewel of the Jebel Al Akhdar mountain range, soaring an impressive 3,000 metres above sea level. Here, you'll encounter awe-inspiring scenery, ancient rock carvings, and remote villages reminiscent of the Grand Canyon.

Take your time to soak up the breathtaking landscapes before continuing your journey to the charming ancient village of Misfah. Nestled on the mountainside, Misfah's narrow stone pathways lead you into a picturesque valley below. Enjoy a delightful lunch at a mountaintop restaurant, savouring local delicacies with panoramic views. Afterward, you'll explore the historic labyrinth of the Al Hamra region, adding another layer of cultural richness to your adventure. Finally, your return trip to Muscat concludes this extraordinary day of exploring the best things to do in Oman.
