Total Distance: 15 km
Difficulty Level: Demanding to Extreme


Trip Overview

Venture deep into the heart of Oman’s subterranean wilderness on a once-in-a-lifetime underground expedition. Designed for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, this two-day journey takes you from the legendary vertical entrance of the 7th Hole cave system all the way through to the majestic Tahri exit — navigating some of the most dramatic and least-accessible terrain in the region.

Combining high-angle rope work, extensive cave navigation, and a rugged surface hike, this adventure is not for the faint of heart. It’s a rare opportunity to challenge your skills, push your physical limits, and sleep 270 meters below the Earth’s surface.
