Jabal Akhdar holidays in Oman

Jabal Akhdar (meaning ‘green mountain’ in Arabic) is part of the Hajar Mountains in the north of Oman and soars 6,560 feet above sea level.

The Mediterranean-like climate makes the region ideal for cultivating fruit and vegetables, and is particularly known for walnuts, pomegranates and damask roses which bloom from March to May, covering the mountain side in pink hues.
