Oman Rocky Trails

The mountain makes the machine make sense.

A rocky climb asks for control. A wadi track changes the surface beneath the tyres. Then the trail opens, the suspension starts working and the next bend introduces a different view. Rocky Trails is built around that changing rhythm.

The mountain network around Al Jarda, Wadi Al Tayeen and Jabal Abyad gives you a substantial day at the wheel within reach of Muscat. Extend it to two days to wake up inside the route, with the camp and meals taken care of.

Rocky Trails — 1 day.

Start with the vehicle and safety briefing at Al Jarda. Follow your guides into the mountain and wadi trail network toward Jabal Abyad: climbs, rocky sections, technical descents and open tracks. Lunch, water and refreshments are included.

This option focuses on a full day of driving and returns to Al Jarda at the end of the programme. There is no overnight camp, dinner, BBQ or breakfast. Departure and return timing depend on the confirmed route and conditions.

Rocky Trails — 2 days.

Give the mountain network more time. Day 1 moves from Al Jarda through wadis and climbs toward Jabal Abyad, with lunch on the route. The evening belongs to the mountain: dinner / BBQ, camping equipment and a private sleeping tent are included.

After breakfast on Day 2, continue through the selected trail network, with lunch included before the return toward Al Jarda. Both formats finish at the starting hub; the two-day Rocky Trails option does not continue to Wahiba Sands.

One loop, shaped around the day.

Core route: Al Jarda → Jabal Abyad and surrounding mountain trails → Al Jarda. The guide selects the exact tracks around weather, water, seasonal access, trail condition and participant capability. Cloud views, water crossings and particular stops cannot be guaranteed.

Wadi Al Arbaeen and other mountain-network locations may feature in selected configurations. They are not fixed stops on every one-day or two-day booking. Confirm the route that fits your available time.

Understand the different off-road surfaces before you go.

Two seats. A properly prepared UTV.

Your booking includes a premium two-seat UTV or equivalent, prepared for prolonged off-road travel. Polaris Pro XP-class or equivalent machines combine the suspension, clearance and capability this terrain demands. The allocated model is confirmed with your booking; a particular model or horsepower figure is not guaranteed.

A Can-Am Maverick X3 upgrade may be available at extra cost. Ask the team to confirm availability; it is not the guaranteed standard vehicle.

What both options include.

• Premium two-seat UTV or equivalent, fuel and route planning
• FOX ATVS guides, safety briefing and vehicle orientation
• Technical support and route-appropriate support arrangements
• Full-face helmet and protective head cover
• Water, drinks and refreshments; radio communication on request

The price is for the whole two-seat vehicle, with its driver and passenger. A solo driver pays the same vehicle price.

The meal and camping difference, clearly.

The two-day package includes four meals in total. Tell the team about dietary needs before booking.

What to arrange separately.

• Suitable personal travel insurance is required for both formats and is not included.
• Hotel transfers are optional and charged separately.
• Can-Am or other agreed vehicle upgrades and personal purchases are extra.

Who is Rocky Trails for?

For drivers who want an active, demanding day or a complete mountain overnight. Every driver must be 18+ with a valid car driving licence. Previous UTV experience is not required, but confidence at the wheel, sustained concentration and following the guide are essential.

This is a moderate-to-high-demand outdoor activity involving prolonged driving, vibration, heat, altitude and uneven ground. It is not suitable during pregnancy or for children under 10. Passengers aged 10+ require team approval and suitable seat and restraint fit. Guests above approximately 130 kg should contact the team about equipment limits before booking. If you have a heart, respiratory or back condition, recent surgery, significant motion sickness or difficulty with heights, discuss the demands with the team and seek professional medical advice if uncertain. FOX ATVS does not provide medical clearance.

Trail rules that keep the group together.

• No alcohol, intoxicants or driving under their influence.
• No racing, uncontrolled drifting, overtaking without permission or leaving the guide’s route.
• Respect villages, private property, wildlife and historic sites. Leave no litter.
• Follow the briefing on seat belts, helmets, passengers, stopping and convoy distances.

Bring what the mountain needs.

• Valid driving licence and identification
• Closed shoes and comfortable outdoor clothing
• Warm layer for mountain wind and the overnight camp
• Sun protection, personal medication and your insurance details
• A small bag; swimwear and a towel if a suitable wadi stop is confirmed

For the one-day option, a warm layer is still useful on exposed high trails; overnight personal items are needed only for the two-day format.

Choose the time. Confirm the route.

The team confirms your meeting time and directions to Al Jarda. Both options return there, so your road car stays at the starting hub unless separately agreed. Leave flexibility around return times and confirm passenger suitability before booking.
