Jabal Samhan Nature Reserve standing tall at the summit by around 1300m, is one of the highest peaks in the Dhofar region, and also one of the last refuges for the Arabian leopard. Get there by continuing straight up for about 20kms after the Tawi-Attair Sinkhole Site, after Taqah town. Though you might not chance upon the rare "Panthera pardus nimr", the journey still rewards you with an excellent view of The Creator's handiwork! The standpoint at the end of the tarmac welcomes you to a bed of impeccable cottony-white clouds. The brilliant vista tempts your feeble mind to take a plunge, but fight all temptation and stay put! Grab that camping chair, pour yourself a cup of hot beverage and discover your insignificance!
