Carved into the Al Hajar Mountains beneath Jebel Shams, Oman’s highest peak, Wadi Ghul, also known as Wadi Nakhr, is a natural marvel. This epic gorge, reaching a depth of 3,280 feet (1,000 meters), stands as the world’s second deepest after Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Visitors can explore the rugged terrain and steep cliffs that define this dramatic landscape, experiencing the sheer scale and beauty of what has earned it the nickname ‘Oman’s Grand Canyon.’
