Meet our tour leader at Al Hamra and start a journey to Wali al Ala after getting the briefing. Wadi al Ala is a beautiful Wadi(valley) hidden away deep in the mighty Al Hajar Mountains; A secret haven which has managed to escape the mainstream tourist rush. On this tour, we get a taste of off-road cycling in the mountains of Oman. The stunning contrast of the concrete road and harsh desert scrubs giving way to lush green trees and foliage as we enter the Wadi is one of the highlights of the Missing Link Bike tour. We take a break for picnic lunch at the green valley of Wadi Al Ala so you can sit back and admire some greenery. We take the same route while returning back to Al Hamra.

The group will meet up with our representative at Al Hamra Shopping Street, from where we start the Panorama Bike Tour. We ride towards Misfat al Abriyyin, one of the oldest villages in Al Hamra, which is hidden away in the hillside. The roads are well maintained but steep and we cycle through steep tarmac road that wind up mountain side riding up a gradient of almost twelve to twenty two percent as we ascent towards the village which lies at an altitude of almost thousand meters above sea level. On reaching the village we break for lunch at a picnic spot amidst the greenery here. You can walk around between the crumbling houses set in the mountainside and visit the step plantations cut into the slopes. You also get an opportunity to see the traditional Falaj irrigation system here. Later take a short walk through the date plantations of the valley. After exploring the village and its surrounding areas we head back towards Al Hamra on bike. On the way you will notice the ruins of the abandoned houses dating more than two hundred year back, which gives you a feeling of what villages in ancient Oman were like.
