Overview

Hike Oman’s Most Spectacular Trail with Majan Views Tourism – The Grand Canyon Of Oman

Experience one of Oman’s most breathtaking hikes the famous Balcony Walk along the edge of the Grand Canyon of Arabia. This full-day adventure combines high-altitude scenery, ancient villages, and unforgettable views.

Set in the heights of Jebel Shams, the Grand Canyon of Arabia is one of Oman’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Towering cliffs, vast silence and sweeping views make it an unforgettable hiking experience.

Your adventure begins in a 4×4 heading deep into the Wadi Ghul Canyon. The tarmac soon gives way to dusty mountain tracks, leading into raw, untouched landscapes shaped by centuries of wind and sun. Then, it’s time for the Balcony Walk, a scenic 4-kilometre trail — easy enough for most walkers but thrilling for anyone afraid of heights!
From 1,900 down to 1,700 metres, the path winds along the canyon’s edge, revealing spectacular views at every turn.

After around three hours, you’ll reach Al Khitaym, a ghost village perched on the cliffside — a hauntingly beautiful end to a truly memorable journey.

An essential experience for nature lovers and seekers of wide-open spaces.
