When we want to take a break from the hustle-bustle of the city and the nerve-wracking deadlines at work, we usually seek our comfort places and turn to our hobbies to relieve stress. Several people like to spend time at home, engrossed in a book or keep themselves busy with decluttering. Some others find cooking therapeutic or spending their weekends with friends and family over brunch and barbeque parties. On the flip side, there are people who long for a rush of adventure and exhilarating experience of off-road safari tours.
Mountain Safari tours are perfect for those who want to appreciate the natural beauty of the mountains while having an exhilarating experience. In fact, off-road mountain safaris are the first choice for people who love adventure and adrenaline.
What To Expect On A Mountain Safari Tour?
Mountain safari tours are popular activities in Khasab Musandam. Several tourists, as well as locals, enjoy participating in group mountain safari tours as well as private ones. Tour participants go on an off-road trip towards the Mountains of Women or locally referred to as Jebel Harim. It gets its name from back in the day when local women would seek refuge in the caves of the mountains to hide from pirates or rival tribes that took them away from their villages.
Jebel Harim
Being one of the highest peaks in the Musandam Peninsula, Jebel Harim stands high at 2,087 meters above sea level. This is equivalent to the length of 150 city buses or 463 sedans. Through the Jebel Harim, individuals and groups on tour can enjoy the breathtaking sceneries of the Hajar Mountains. There are also fossils around the mountains that date back to millions of years ago.
Exploring The Village Of Sayah and Khawr Najd
Part of the Khasab Musandam tour is exploring the Bedouin village of Sayah. Bedouin means desert-dwellers. This settlement is still occupied by a few families, and visitors can catch a glimpse of their lifestyle. The village of Sayah is famous for its ancient petroglyphs which are primitive paintings on rock surfaces.
The Khasab mountain safari tour also includes exploring Khawr Najd. This is a popular spot for camping enthusiasts. The scenery at the summit overlooking the Indian ocean is breathtaking. This is a perfect spot to snap your memorable photos with friends and family.
