    Start your 2 days hiking in Salalah with a convenient airport pickup before heading west into the dramatic Dhofar Mountains. The journey itself is part of the adventure—winding roads surrounded by misty peaks, lush greenery, and charming mountain villages. Along the way, keep your eyes open for camels roaming freely and native birdlife soaring above the valleys, giving you an authentic glimpse of life in southern Oman.

  • Guided Hike to Ayn Ghyd Spring
    Embark on a beginner-friendly 45-minute hike through rocky trails and gentle slopes, accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide. As you trek, you’ll discover fascinating details about the region’s flora, unique geology, and wildlife that call this untouched landscape home. This is where adventure meets education, making your hike both fun and enriching.

  • Discover the Hidden Oasis of Ayn Ghyd
    At the end of the trail, you’ll be rewarded with the serene beauty of Ayn Ghyd—a secluded spring tucked between rugged hills. The tranquil sound of flowing water and the cool mountain breeze make it the perfect spot to rest after your hike.

  • Relax, Swim, or Simply Unwind
