• Proceed to Wadi Al Madeen, where the entry permits have to be shown. From here, a 36 km stretch of winding road takes one to Jebel Akhdar (2000 mts above sea level), the green jewel of the Al Hajjar mountain ranges, a truly unique spot in the Arabian Peninsula. Enjoy the cool climate up in the mountains. Al Jebel Al Akhdar is famed for its fruit orchards, typically laid out terrace style along the slopes of mountains, endowed with natural springs and falaj. Many fresh fruits such as peaches, apricot, fig, grapes, apple, pears, plums, almonds, walnuts are grown here. The region is well known for the pomegranate fruit, which is of very superior quality.

• The villages of Saiq, Wadi Bani Habib (the old houses) & Al Ain dot the landscape. The villages overlook a spectacular landscape of dramatic peaks, gorges, and wadis. The roses of Jabal Al Akhdar fill the air with fragrance when in full bloom (March / April). Rosewater is distilled in the homes of the villagers as well.
