Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Ibri, which is a central location in the Ad Dhahirah Governorate. From Ibri, head east on Route 21 for about 30 kilometers until you reach the junction near the village of Al Khadra. Turn left onto Route 23 and continue for approximately 20 kilometers. Look for signs indicating Jebel Misht. The road will take you through some scenic areas, and you will eventually reach the base of Jebel Misht. Parking is available at the base, and from there, you can begin your hike to the peak. Note that the road can be winding, so drive carefully.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus or shared taxi from Ibri to the village of Al Khadra. These services run regularly, but it's best to confirm the schedule a day before your journey. Once you arrive at Al Khadra, you may need to hire a local taxi to take you the remaining 20 kilometers to the base of Jebel Misht. Be sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, as local taxis do not have meters. Expect to pay around 10-15 Omani Rial for this ride. Once at the base, you can begin your hike to the peak.

Hiking
The final leg of your journey involves hiking from the parking area at the base of Jebel Misht to the peak. The trail is moderately challenging, so wear appropriate footwear and bring plenty of water. The hike is approximately 3 kilometers and may take about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your fitness level. There are markers along the trail to guide you, and take your time to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
