Welcome to Part 3 of our Oman series, covering our 1 month 4x4 camping road trip around Oman in February and March 2022. Join us as we explore some of Oman’s most challenging 4x4 roads in our rented Toyota Fortuner (hired via ).
We wake up at a spectacular wild camp spot at a mountain pass between Wadi Bani Kharus and Wadi Bani Awf, then head for a morning swim at Little Snake Canyon. We drive through Wadi Bani Awf to the beautifully situated village of Bilad Sayt, tucked away in the mountains with terraces stretched out in front.
Next, we follow more 4x4 tracks through the mountains to Wadi As Sahtan and a spacious camping area looking right up at Jebel Shams. It’s a lovely spot with trees for shade so we decide to have a ‘rest day’, which means catching up on laundry (using our trusty Scrubba!), backing up footage, and prepping some food.
The following day we set off to tackle the most challenging mountain roads we’ve experienced in Oman. First up is the drive to Wijmah village, tucked into the cliffs below Jebel Shams. The village is about 500 years old and fascinating to explore. In the afternoon we head to Yaseb, via a twisting road that eventually leads along an almost sheer cliff face. The views are amazing, but this section of the road is pretty nerve-wracking!
We wanted to check if the road from Yaseb village to Jebel Shams had been finished yet, but it hadn’t so we just returned the same way. With sunset fast approaching, we headed for the same familiar camp spot for a third night.
