The Jabal al-Akhdar Tour Package is a high-altitude cultural and scenic adventure. The mountain’s unique Mediterranean-like climate allows for the cultivation of various fruits like pomegranates, apricots, peaches, and walnuts, grown on centuries-old terraced farms irrigated by the ancient Falaj system (a UNESCO World Heritage site).

Your journey will typically begin in Muscat or Nizwa, traveling in a specialized 4×4 vehicle—which is mandatory for the ascent up the mountain’s winding road. Key highlights include exploring the charming, abandoned mud-brick village of Wadi Bani Habib, taking a guided walk through the picturesque Three Villages (Al Aqar, Al Ayn, and Ash Shirayjah), and visiting the renowned Diana’s Point for a spectacular panoramic view of the ‘Grand Canyon of Arabia.’

During spring (March-May), the mountain transforms with the bloom of Damask roses, and you may have the opportunity to witness the traditional rose water distillation process. This tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a cool, tranquil retreat high above the desert plains.
