Jebel Akhdar, meaning “Green Mountain,” is a highland area in northern Oman, located within the Al Hajar Mountains. Known for its cool climate, terraced farms, and dramatic cliffs, this destination feels very different from the desert surroundings. Rose gardens, pomegranate orchards, and stone villages shape daily life here, making it a refreshing break from city routines.
Travelers from the UAE choosing Oman Tour Packages often include Jebel Akhdar for its fresh air and mountain views. The area sits more than 2,000 meters above sea level and stays cooler than Muscat or Nizwa. Well-paved roads, luxury resorts, and nature trails make the journey comfortable while still feeling close to nature.
Entry to the mountain region is free for all visitors. However, if you hire a local guide for hiking, expect to pay around AED 150 to AED 300 per group. Most travelers spend money on fuel and hotel stays. Parking at viewpoints is generally free for everyone.
