Ascent to Jebel al Flahwil

From the bridge at the last lake it is nice to see where to go. Swimmers pass through the gorge, those interested in caves go only slightly over the river and we, which we plan to go up the hill, follow the signs leading to the right high above the gorge.

The path above the gorge is quite obvious, you can't go anywhere else

We are gradually moving away from one of the most picturesque oases of Oman

Looking down is also worth it. The trail leading through the bottom of the gorge to the local bat cave is clearly visible

Above the junction of the canyons, the trail turns to the right and then climbs along the edge above the side valley. This is where the sun trail to the top begins. The subsoil is large rocky plates, so it goes beautifully in any shoe. Wide views also begin to open from this location

After a twenty-minute walk, you may be surprised to find another village. But you will meet herds of goats than people here.

A green oasis versus the surrounding yellow mountains – a really beautiful view

The ascent path is quite obvious – the goal is a rocky hill right in front of you. Thanks to the rock plates, you can go practically arbitrarily, but here and there the painted signs lead only the optimal route

Finally we are at the top and we can enjoy a great panorama in the south

From the top you can see a dusty road that leads on the other side of the canyon deep into the valley of Wadi Bani Khalid. Possible tip for travelers with an off-road car

To the north are even higher peaks than our rocky hills. The hiking trail detaches before the summit and leads to the summit on the left and further into the interior of the mountains. The way back is the same as the exit
