The Balcony hike has the most stunning views !
My husband and I are both fit and in our mid 60s and we loved the balcony hike ….. we went all the way to the end which is a nice little lake part way in a cave area . We had a picnic lunch there …..it is past the village where you scramble over rocks and walk to your left side a ways We hired a guide from zahara tours and it made the hike much more interesting as we learned the culture, history, flora and fauna of the area as well as info about the village which was abandoned just 30 years ago. Yes there are drop offs as you are hiking but honestly it is a fairly wide trail and we never felt unsafe. I do agree though you need to be fit to finish it and it is for the over 14, 15 or 16 year old group ….. well worth it we took 2 hours each direction ……with a 30’minite stop at the pool. . It was one of the highlights of our 10 day trip to Oman truly the friendliest and most peaceful nation on earth ! ( : The country places a high value on their reputation in the world and taking good are of those who come to explore its stunning landscapes, architecture, forts, villages, long turquoise coastline and exquisite mosques…as well as swim in its gorgeous wadis Wadi sham being the best and a must see/must do! ..I have traveled In 126 countries and Oman is up there as one of my favorites! !
