| The huge jebels rise sheer from the sandy valley floor overshadowing the small but growing settlement of Rum. |
| From the Batinah Coast to the west of Muscat along the base of the jebels are several key towns of special interest. |
| When climbing on the jebels we will usually be following routes which have been used for generations by Bedouin hunters and shepherds. |
| I climbed to the top of one of the small jebels and watched the sun begin to set before heading back to Rum. |
| A fine collection of these trees can also be found in Wadi Qahshan deep in the jebels beyond Mughsayl. |
