Our Local Experts say:
Oman's mountainous regions are unique in their dark, craggy appearance and are crying out to be explored and photographed. You can explore on foot, by car or even with the aid of rock-climbing gear. October to April is the best time to do it.
The Hajar Mountains are home to thriving communities and forgotten villages. Gorges, steep cliffs & faults await your attention and admiration. Jebel Shams is great for camping & Jebel Akhdar is where the famous Omani rose water is made. Join an organised tour group and learn much more about the stunning scenery that surrounds you.
