Synopsis

This hiking guide details the first long distance walk across the Hajar Mountains in the southeast corner of Arabia. It is a challenging but not a technical climb, from 620m to 3,000m, with exhilarating scenery in benign winter weather. The track follows the spine of the mountains with frequent diversions to natural springs that sustain a string of ancient villages. You will walk past spectacular rock formations, Bronze Age tombs and working examples of falaj irrigation that have been in use for over a thousand years.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

John Edwards lived in the Sultanate of Oman with his family from 1991 to 1994 and from 2002 to 2014, spending most winters exploring Al Hajar Al Gharbi to the west and Al Hajar Ash Sharqi to the east of his home in Muscat. This is his first book sharing these adventures with fellow hikers, and he plans to develop his coverage further to write about Jabal Kawr and Al Hajar Ash Sharqi.
