Balad Seet is located in the heart of Hajar mountains. It is a small village with residents perhaps less than 2000 person but the wonderful location, the native crop plant species and beautiful terraces make this small village a world wonder.
Getting there requires you to have a 4 WD. Start the trip by driving in the Batinah road (route 1) toward Rustaq. At Rustaq roundabout take a left turn and drive straight till you see the sign for Balad Seet about 20 minutes from the roundabout. The distance is 157 KM to the entrance of Balad Seet on your left side. Be sure to fill up from the gas station on your right before heading up there as you wont see a gas station for a while once you get in. When you turn left toward Balad Seet you will drive in ungraded Wadi road, follow sign directions till the end of the road. After the Wadi road and 6 km from Balad Seet you will start the uphill road battle! Be very careful as the road is not graded, dangerous, steep and curvy! But you will make it once you start climbing. You will see the Balad Seet signs all the way up till you get there!
Have a nice trip!
