Via Ferrata Jebel Shams – Shared Group Adventure, Oman

Oman's most thrilling cliff adventure, now on shared group dates.

This shared departure lets solo travelers, couples and small groups experience the Jebel Shams via ferrata at a per-person price. You'll join other adventurers on fixed dates, led by our certified guide.

We meet at 9:00 AM at Cliff Café in Al Khitaym village, at the start of the famous Balcony Walk. Here you'll be fitted with your full via ferrata kit (harness, helmet and lanyards) and receive a safety briefing before setting off.

From there, we hike along the canyon wall to the start of the via ferrata route. You'll cross the cliffs on steel cables, ladders and rungs, clipped in at all times, with dramatic views straight down into Wadi Ghul, the Grand Canyon of Oman.

After the climb, we hike back to Al Khitaym, where the tour ends. The full experience takes around 5–6 hours.

Lunch is not included, so bring snacks and plenty of water. You can also eat at Cliff Café before or after the tour.
