Rising from the great central deserts of the Arabian plateau, the Hajar Mountains are one of Oman's most beautiful and remote regions.

To experience the grandeur of these mountains, take to the trails and tackle the 200-kilometer traverse that traces the spine of these ancient peaks. Following historic trading routes that have connected villages for centuries, this hike offers a unique glimpse into Arabian mountain culture.

This epic traverse can be undertaken as a sixteen-day expedition, or it can be broken up into smaller sections.

The best walking weather in Oman is from mid November to March.
