Jebel Akhdar

Jebel Akhdar, meaning “The Green Mountain,” is one of Oman’s most breathtaking highland destinations, rising dramatically within the Al Hajar mountain range. Known for its cool climate and terraced landscapes, the region has been inhabited for centuries, with villages carved into steep cliffs and mountain slopes. Its elevated plateau supports rare agriculture, including pomegranates, roses, walnuts, and apricots—most famously the Damask roses used to produce traditional Omani rose water each spring.

Beyond its natural beauty, Jebel Akhdar offers a rich cultural and experiential landscape. Ancient stone villages, falaj irrigation systems, and scenic hiking trails reveal a way of life deeply connected to the land. Panoramic viewpoints, dramatic canyons, and quiet mountain paths make it a sanctuary for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those in search of tranquility. Today, Jebel Akhdar is celebrated as a high-altitude retreat where heritage, nature, and refined hospitality come together in one of Oman’s most iconic settings.
