What to expect
Taqah View Point
35m
Begin your adventure with a stop at the stunning Taqah Cliff Viewpoint, where the sheer cliffs drop dramatically into the Arabian Sea. Take in the panoramic views and feel the cool coastal breeze before continuing with a scenic drive through the charming Taqah coastal town, known for its traditional Dhofari architecture and laid-back seaside atmosphere.
1h
Your journey then leads inland to the lush Wadi Darbat, a green valley that comes alive with natural springs, waterfalls (seasonal), and grazing camels. It's the perfect place to soak in the tranquil beauty of southern Oman and snap some incredible photos.
15m
Next, explore the awe-inspiring Tawi Attair Sinkhole, one of the largest in the region. This massive geological formation—known as the “Well of Birds”—offers a glimpse into the earth’s ancient past and showcases Oman’s dramatic topography.
Jabal Samhan
1h
As you ascend into the mountains, reach the breathtaking Jabal Samhan viewpoint, perched high above the cliffs. Here, enjoy a relaxing lunch amid cool mountain air and stunning panoramic views of deep canyons and endless skies—a highlight of the day.
25m
After lunch, venture into a lesser-known wonder: a grove of Baobab trees, rare and iconic symbols of nature’s endurance. These unusual trees, with their bulbous trunks and stark silhouettes, offer a glimpse into the unique ecology of Dhofar.
Earth Gravity Controversial
15m
Wrap up the tour with a fun and fascinating stop at the Zero Gravity Point in Hasheer Valley, where an optical illusion makes vehicles appear to roll uphill. A curious and memorable experience to end your mountain journey.
Following a day filled with beauty and discovery, relax on the drive back to your hotel, taking with you unforgettable memories of Oman’s hidden highlands.
