The information in these introductory chapters, daily maps and Western Hajar GPX downloads (Oman hiking routes) is sufficient for Omanis and expatriates with basic navigation skills to explore these routes on day walks. Walkers planning a multi-day traverse are strongly advised to obtain the Western Hajar Traverse guidebook (Oman hiking) and Western Hajar hiking map 1:50,000 (Oman) covering the entire traverse and surrounding mountain range at 1:50,000 scale.
This is the first detailed contour map of the Western Hajar to be approved by the National Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information (NSGIA). The authority reviewed the Roman spelling of Arabic village names and issued registration number 1246 (05/11/19), authorising the sale of the map in Oman.
If you have any questions about your journey plans or encounter problems with these downloads, please do not hesitate to email me. After your walk, please provide feedback. In particular, information about hotels, the condition of natural water sources, routes, and the local provision of supplies that differs from the information in my guidebook will be appreciated by future walkers. You should review the existing feedback before your walk.
