Get ready for an exciting adventure as we come together to connect with nature in the Hajar Mountains. We escape away from the city to a place where time stands still and where the temps are lower than at sea level. We plan to escape the heat of the city and enjoy cooler nights under the stars with free spirits like yourselves. Be taken aback by the sights and sounds of the Hajar Mountains at Camp 808.
This trip starts with a 4x4 trail up the mountain to Camp 808, where a sedan will find it difficult to make the distance, making this place less accessible to the public. The trip has lots of different things to suit everyone.
