Via-Ferrata
extreme balcony walk
AMENITIES
This is a world-class experience on top of the highest mountain in the region, Jebel Shams. The adventure begins with a hike along the top of the canyon, the famous Balcony Walk, to the abandoned village of Sap Bani Khamis. See how the locals lived here just 70 years ago, and learn about Oman’s history and geology.
Continue up the scree to the old stick stairway, now the Via Ferrata. The route’s protected with a steel cable that reaches all the way up the 200m cliff, providing assisted climbing for adventurers with little experience.
Enjoy a picnic lunch on the plateau before heading back.
