Fresh water in a cave near the deserted village of Sab Bani Khamis in Jebel Shams in Oman
Fresh water in a cave near the deserted village of Sab Bani Khamis in Jebel Shams in Oman. The deserted village Sab Bani Khamis was abandoned after a dam closed off their water supply that made it possible to live there. Just simply imagine a rocky ledge of no more than thirty meters wide with a deadly drop to the depths of the canyon. A couple of terrasses where they managed to grow crops and a few mud houses underneath a hanging ledge that towers above for hundreds of meters. Jebel Shams, which translates to “Mountain of Sun” is an mountain located in north-eastern of Oman and has an altitude of approximately meters ( feet). Jebel Shams is not really a mountain as you’d expect, it’s a mindboggling crevasse of immense proportions, therefore the name “Oman’s Grand Canyon” or “The Grand Canyon of Arabia” is way more fitting.
