Samhan Mountain Safari with Lunch (Experience Dhofar Highest Peak)

What makes this tour truly special is the seamless blend of Dhofar’s breathtaking natural landscapes with its rich cultural heritage. Along the way, you'll hear fascinating local stories—legends tied to ancient Dhofar land —that bring the region’s history to life. A highlight of the day is a traditional outdoor picnic lunch, served high in the mountains, where you’ll enjoy authentic Dhofari flavors surrounded by panoramic views. It’s not just a meal—it’s a moment to slow down, breathe the cool mountain air, and connect with the land. From the mystical baobab trees to the playful optical illusions at Gravity Point, every stop offers a new layer of natural wonder and cultural depth, making this more than just a tour—it’s a journey into the heart of southern Oman.

Begin your adventure with a stop at the stunning Taqah Cliff Viewpoint, where the sheer cliffs drop dramatically into the Arabian Sea. Take in the panoramic views and feel the cool coastal breeze before continuing with a scenic drive through the charming Taqah coastal town, known for its traditional Dhofari architecture and laid-back seaside atmosphere.

Your journey then leads inland to the lush Wadi Darbat, a green valley that comes alive with natural springs, waterfalls (seasonal), and grazing camels. It's the perfect place to soak in the tranquil beauty of southern Oman and snap some incredible photos.

Next, explore the awe-inspiring Tawi Attair Sinkhole, one of the largest in the region. This massive geological formation—known as the “Well of Birds”—offers a glimpse into the earth’s ancient past and showcases Oman’s dramatic topography.

As you ascend into the mountains, reach the breathtaking Jabal Samhan viewpoint, perched high above the cliffs. Here, enjoy a relaxing lunch amid cool mountain air and stunning panoramic views of deep canyons and endless skies—a highlight of the day.

After lunch, venture into a lesser-known wonder: a grove of Baobab trees, rare and iconic symbols of nature’s endurance. These unusual trees, with their bulbous trunks and stark silhouettes, offer a glimpse into the unique ecology of Dhofar.

Wrap up the tour with a fun and fascinating stop at the Zero Gravity Point in Hasheer Valley, where an optical illusion makes vehicles appear to roll uphill. A curious and memorable experience to end your mountain journey. Following a day filled with beauty and discovery, relax on the drive back to your hotel, taking with you unforgettable memories of Oman’s hidden highlands.
