Details
This full-day private tour takes you on an unforgettable journey into Oman’s cultural and natural wonders. Embark on a breathtaking journey to Jebel Akhdar (The Green Mountain), one of Oman’s most spectacular natural destinations, rising over 2,000 meters above sea level. This mountain paradise is known for its cool climate, terraced farms, and traditional villages that offer a glimpse into authentic Omani life.
Your tour will take you through charming villages such as Wadi Bani Habib, Al Sharijah, Al Ain, and Al Aqur, before reaching the iconic Diana’s Point, which offers a stunning panoramic view over the dramatic valleys and mountain slopes.
Guests can enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants on the mountain, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
In Wadi Bani Habib, stroll among the lush orchards of pomegranates, walnuts, almonds, olives, and prickly pears, while exploring the old stone-and-mud houses that stand as silent witnesses to the region’s rich history.
Along the way, don’t miss the small local stalls where villagers sell their homemade products — including Omani rose water, wild thyme, olive oil, honey, and seasonal fruits — a perfect way to experience the mountain’s authentic charm.
