Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Into the Hajar Mountains

After enjoying breakfast, you will meet your English speaking local driver-guide who will be with you for the next five days, in a Toyota Prado 4WD. After introductions you will start your transfer journey to Alila Jabal Akhdar, travelling via Nakhl, Wadi Bani Awf and Bilad Sayt, a beautiful journey surrounded by rugged landscapes.

You’ll be greeted by a hotel representative who will take you to your mountain view suite, perched 2000 metres above sea level in the Hajar Mountains. You’ll be staying here the next three nights on half board basis.

Day 2 Life in the Mountains

Today you will see some of Oman’s mountain highlights, as well as discovering the history and culture of the country. Bahla Fort is your first stop, and what a stop it is, being the only fort in the whole country to have UNESCO World Heritage status. It's a must for anyone visiting Oman.

Your next stop is the spectacular Jabreen Castle. Different from other Omani forts, this castle was constructed in times of peace by a ruler whose fascination with science and art made this the most beautiful historic castle in the Sultanate. A perfect spot to explore the differences in Oman’s history.

The final two locations you’ll visit today are Misfah, a mountainous village with agricultural terraces and old houses, and Jebel Shams Peak, the highest point in the Hajar range.
