Can you imagine hiking in the capital city of Muscat? It’s possible! Muscat is unique because its neighborhoods are separated by rocky hills. This means you can hike these hills and enjoy some stunning views. which runs between Riyam and Muttrah.
Starting right in front of Riyam Park, the Riyam Path begins with a steep climb. At the top, you’re rewarded with amazing views of the sea and the surrounding area. The path then gently descends through an old, abandoned village, eventually leading you to Muttrah. It’s a fantastic way to explore the historical parts of Muscat up close.
A representative from Cairo Top Tour will pick you up at your hotel to begin your fantastic trekking adventure in Riyam. You'll start by following the marked trails from the Riyam parking area. An old, rusty diesel pipeline serves as a reminder of Oman's history when the country's only power plant was located in Riyam, and diesel was pumped from a ship anchored in Mutrah.
Along the way, you'll encounter well-laid stone slabs used for generations by visitors heading to Mutrah and beyond, aiding them in climbing the final hills before reaching Muscat Gate. During that era, the sea or road was the only means to reach Muscat. Once you reach the highest points of the trail, take a moment to enjoy the incredible views over the coast and the sea. Be cautious 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.
