A representative from Cairo Top Tour will collect you from your hotel to embark on a wonderful trekking experience in Riyam. Your journey begins by following the marked trails from the parking area at Riyam. A rusty old diesel pipeline serves as a reminder of Oman's past, when the country's sole power plant was located in Riyam, and diesel was pumped from a ship anchored in Mutrah.
As you ascend, you'll notice well-laid stone slabs used by generations of visitors heading to Mutrah and beyond, aiding them in climbing the final hills before reaching Muscat Gate. In those times, the only ways to reach Muscat were by sea or road. Once you reach the highest points of the trail, take a moment to admire the stunning views over the coast and sea. Exercise caution on the descent towards the abandoned settlement, as some areas may be slippery. Explore the ancient water cistern and falaj irrigation system that are still visible, then prepare for occasional climbs necessary to cross the wadi leading to Mutrah. After completing your trekking tour in Oman, our guide will safely return you to your hotel.
