Also known as the Green Mountain, Jebel Akhdar is a prominent peak in the AL Hajar Mountain Ranges. Rising to a height of over 2,900 meters above sea level, the mountain is known for its fantastic vantage views of the surrounding city.
One of the most beautiful places in Oman, Jebel Akhdar is best known for its many Wadis and terraced orchards abounding in pomegranate, apricots and roses. While hiking is a pretty popular activity here, the mountainside is also riddled with several adventurous caves that visitors can explore at their own leisure.
