Cairo Top Tour representative will pick you up at your hotel to start your wonderful trekking in Riyam. You will start by following the colored markers from the Riyam parking area. A rusty old diesel pipeline is your evidence of a time when Oman's only power plant was located in Riyam, and the diesel supply was pumped through the pipeline from a ship anchored in Mutrah.
You can see the well-laid stone slabs climbing up the hill. They have been used by countless generations of visitors to Mutrah and the hinterland to help them climb the last few hills before entering the Muscat Gate. At that time, the only way to reach Muscat was by sea or by road. Once you have reached the highest parts of the route, turn around to enjoy the incredible view over the coast and the sea. Be careful when descending towards the abandoned settlement, as it can be slippery in places. Check out the ancient water cistern and falaj irrigation system, which are still visible, and then enjoy the climb that is sometimes necessary to pass the wadi leading to Mutrah. After completing your hiking tour in Oman, our guide will take you back to your hotel.
