Itinerary description
Wadi Qurai (Samail) Scenic Falaj Hike
(Online Text Courtesy)
Wadi Qurai is a really cool wadi located about an hour from Muscat, and on the way to Nizwa. It’s an easy stop for a few hours exploration, hjking, and swimming! Even better, it’s not a well-known wadi, so won’t be as crowded as other wadis near Muscat.
Overall, Wadi Qurai is a really cool wadi to explore. Follow the falaj and the obvious path of the wadi and have fun with the rocks and terrain!!!
Wadi Quri (or Quriat) is a nice pick nick walk close to Muscat, ideal to spent a leisurely day off, especially when it gets above 30 Celsius.
The trail still has a few mild challenges but most trekkers can do it. The walk along the fallaj is often 2-3 m high and narrow. The alternative is to stay in the main valley where you will only hit a few big boulders or sloping rock faces to cross. Biggest challenge is at the fallaj bridge and it is advised to go down in the valley as soon as you see a trail going down, half-way between the village and the fallaj bridge
