The trail traverses the Wadi Nakhr canyon, the largest canyons in Oman. According to some sources, the biggest difference in the vertical reaches up to 2km. The trail is about 14km, not too difficult, scenic, at the beginning of the gazebo for a picnic. At the end of the trail there is a "stone town" - the abandoned town reportedly lived in the 1960s.
In the stone town, you can see a two-level wave, a water tank, an observation tower, grinders, interesting rock formations, in addition to houses and pens. The marked trail ends on artificial farm terraces.
For tigers, the road may not end;) After passing the terraces, climb a little higher and turn back on the slope, climbing further. After a short time we get to paradise :) A huge cave by the lake, a very picturesque place where you can bathe, although the water in addition to the thin layer is very cold. Very good place to stay, barbecue, picnic :)
