Sunrise Departure from Muscat (6–7 AM)
Your day begins early as we leave the city behind and head east toward the coastal village of Finns. The real adventure begins here — our route shifts from smooth roads to thrilling off-road tracks, leading into the wild, untamed beauty of the Salmah Plateau.

Hike Through Taab Farms
Stretch your legs with a refreshing hike through the lush terraces of Taab farms, nestled deep within the mountains. Surrounded by the gentle sounds of flowing wadis and local birdlife, this is a serene immersion into Oman’s hidden agricultural traditions.

Majlis Al Jinn – Oman’s Hidden Giant
At the summit of Salmah Plateau, you’ll encounter one of nature’s true masterpieces — Majlis Al Jinn, one of the largest underground cave chambers in the world. While the cave itself is not accessible from the top, the viewpoint offers an epic glimpse into the mysterious force of nature that lies beneath. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and be amazed.

Descent to Wadi Dayqah Dam
After soaking in the mountain majesty, we make our way down to Wadi Dayqah Dam — a man-made marvel surrounded by soaring peaks and tranquil waters. Relax lakeside with a picnic or local lunch and take in the expansive views.

Optional Activities (Not Included)
Feeling adventurous? Add a splash of fun with optional kayaking or donut boating on the calm reservoir waters — a perfect way to end your day with laughter and lighthearted fun.
