Breathtaking views of the canyon - After a scenic drive from Muscat, we embarked on the awe-inspiring Balcony Walk. The panoramic views of the Wadi Ghoul canyon were simply breathtaking. As we reached the trail's end, we were captivated by the well-preserved ruins of ancient homes and remnants of bygone farms. Our guide, Waleed, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of Oman's history and culture, coupled with his gracious sharing of valuable travel tips, made our first day in the country truly memorable. This tour is an absolute must for nature and culture enthusiasts.
