Private 4x4 Safari - The Green Mountain

A full day 4x4 private tour to Al Jabal al Akhdar in the heart of the Hajar Mountains. Due to lower temperatures than the rest of Oman, the area has rich agriculture and an abundance of flowers and plants growing throughout the year.

You start your private tour in the morning and drive from Muscat to Fanjah.

You will stop at Wadi Fanjah and continue to Birkat Al Mawz. Passing the Fort that once guarded the entrance to Jebel Akhdar, you proceed up the most impressive mountain of Oman, Al Jabal al Akhdar in the heart of the Hajar Mountains.

Villages are scattered on the mountainside with picturesque houses built of stones from Jebel Akhdar and the area is well known for its diverse agriculture. Small terraces with fruit trees, cherry blossom, peach flowers, pomegranate, saffron, garlic and much more create an amazing palette of colors and scents throughout the year. With temperatures being considerably lower than in other parts of Oman, the Saiq plateau is famed for its abundance of roses used for rose water and perfumes.

Return to Muscat late afternoon via Birkat Al Mawz. Do not miss this opportunity to experience the wonders of Oman. Lunch is served in Jebel Akhdar Hotel with wonderful views of the mountains.

Important - we require your passport copy and minimum 2 working days to obtain a road pass for Jebel Akhdar.
