7.a.m - 7.pm. - Jebel Shams Summit Hike W4 (Medium)

One of Husaak's favorites! An unforgettable, and challenging experience through Jebel Shams, the highest point in the Gulf. The hike to the roof of Arabia is a 8.5 KM hike each way, where you will see a shear drop cliff of 3000+ meters.

That is roughly three times the height of Burj Khalifa; the world’s tallest building! Who wouldn't want to hike up there?!
