Little Snake Canyon, Canyon passage in South Batinah Governorate, Oman

The narrowest section of Wadi Bani Awf features vertical limestone walls reaching heights of 200 feet and contains a lengthy water pool stretching 50 meters.

The canyon earned its English name from early adventurers who observed its serpentine path through the Hajar Mountains, while locals refer to it as Seer Al Zamah.

Local villagers from Al Zamah and surrounding settlements maintain traditional lifestyles within this mountainous region, preserving generations of agricultural practices and customs.

Access requires a four-wheel drive vehicle from Al Awabi town, followed by a challenging three-kilometer drive on unpaved roads to reach the canyon entrance.

The passage narrows to such an extent that hikers can simultaneously touch both canyon walls while navigating through the natural corridor between limestone cliffs.
