About the Experience
Jebel Shams, the Mountain of the Sun, is the highest point in Oman, north of Al Hamra in the Al Hajar range. This trip is built around the summit: an early start, a long climb on rocky ground, and a high camp where the temperature drops and the sky opens. It is a demanding hike that rewards fitness and patience.
What to Bring
Proper hiking boots, warm layers for the cold nights at altitude, a headlamp, gloves, a hat, sunscreen, a refillable bottle, and any personal medication. Guides, safety gear, camping gear, and meals are provided.
Ages: 12+
