Jebel Akhdar
Green Mountain
Courtesy of Hotel Indigo Jabal Akhdar
The Green Mountain rises to 2,980 meters above the Omani desert, its terraced villages growing roses, pomegranates, and walnuts in a landscape that feels closer to the Atlas Mountains than the Arabian Peninsula. The canyon rim offers views that drop 1,000 meters to the valley floor, and the air is cool enough for a cardigan — a novelty in this part of the world.
