Description

Jebal al Akhdar

This is a fantastic drive of 2hrs from Muscat towards the inner part of Oman where you will enjoy the storytelling by our awesome tour guides about Oman and the 2 hrs drive would feel nothing. We will have to drive up the mountains an elevation of 3000 meters above sea level. The first stop In Jebal  Al-Akhdar is visiting an old abandoned village in Wadi bani Habib, where you will see the old house interior, and just before we leave, you see an astonishing view of agricultural terraces. Every tourist enjoys a good challenge, and is looking for a breath of fresh air, the Al-Hajar Mountains are the best destination while visiting Oman this summer.

Also known as the Oman Rocky Mountains, or the Oman Mountains, the Hajar Mountains, divided into Central, Eastern, and Western Hajar sections, offer kilometers of hikes and stunning landscapes to its visitors. The highest peak in the Hajar Mountains is Jebel Shams, with an elevation of more than 3000 meters above sea level and plenty of routes for you to discover.

Visitors traveling to Jebel Akhdar and its surrounding areas will not only be amazed by the splendid mountains, but will also have the opportunity to explore green Wadis terrace farms, rose gardens – typical for the production of rosewater, abandoned villages, and stunning viewpoints including Diana Point, one of the favorite viewpoints for the late Princess Diana during her visit to Oman, that will leave you speechless.

Birkat al Mauz

The name of this village roughly translates as ‘Banana’s Pool’ – a suitable name, as a quick drive through the village plantation will reveal.

Birkat Al-Mouz is a small town in Al-Dakhiliyah region Governorate of Oman. Birkat Al Mouz is located at the foothills of Jebal Al-Akhdar, so everyone who is going to Jabal Al-Akhdar ends up passing through must pass to go through. Many just pass by it without stopping, although it is definitely worth a stop on its as it has quite a few attractions that are worth visiting which you can combine with your visit to Jebal al-Akhdar.

Al-Yaribah Mosque built-in 1649, can be considered as one of the oldest mosques in Oman and has Falaj Al-Khatmain passing through it. There are a few private rooms just outside the mosque where there is access to the falaj, allowing locals to bathe or wash from it. Just near the Al Yaribah Mosque, there is Bait Al Ridaydah Castle. A short walk from the mosque towards the palm farms will lead you to the old part of Birkat Al Mouz, known locally as Harat Al-Sibani, which means ‘neighborhood of the Sibani family‘. The old neighborhood has numerous old houses, ruins intertwined with newer houses – the oldest part of them is at the hills overlooking the farms, where you could walk through and reach the semi-demolished tower for a nice overview.
