If you want a route with almost endless possibilities for exploration, then this is it. Wadi As Sahtan provides a dramatic gateway to a host of roads that all lead to lovely villages (of which there are more than 40), including several that are set right at the foot of the steep north face of Jabal Shams. Add the possibility of countless hiking options to the abundance of incredible views and you'll soon discover that you'll want to return time and time again to this stunning area.
