Also known as the Green Mountain, Jebel Akhdar is a prominent peak in the AL Hajar Mountain Ranges. Rising to a height of over 9,515 miles 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 terraced orchards abounding in pomegranates, 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. Moreover, the best time of year is March and April, when the damask roses are out. These fragrant heirloom blooms are known for their sweet perfume, which fills the air during early spring.
