As Sab W6 also know as a Balcony Walk is one of the most scenic and famous hikes in Oman. It is for all levels, quite easy and kids friendly trek. The Path The path is straightforward, easy and very well maintained. There are few exposed sections, but all secured with railings. It gets narrow at some points, so need to mind your step and give way to others. There is a number of shaded picnic tables along the route if you only wish for a short walk and simply enjoy the view. The Route The hike starts and ends in Al Khatim village where you will come across local people selling stones and traditional art craft items from the area. We will follow the ancient donkey trail and walk on a cliff overlooking the Grand Canyon. The trail goes through an abandoned village called As Sab and ends by a beautiful natural lake which is also the start of famous Jebel Shams Via Ferrata.
