Worth a Visit
Nov. 2023 • Couples
To get here you would need to hire a 4 wheel drive. The police at the check post are extremely strict. Hire one from the town just before the climb, you’ll save money.
The trip is worth both the drive and the views. It could get a bit nippy so carry a wind cheater or a light woollen with you.

Bad experience in Dusit D2 Naseem resort Jabel Akhder
Jun. 2023 • Couples
The area is very nice but unluckily the Hotel was bad, Dusit D2 Naseem resort, as we had very bad experience with it && does not deserve the money I paid for it although I am a golden member of Dusit Thani series but this resort might affect the reputation of this series

Wild camping on the mountain summit. Watching both the Sun rise and set is as wonderful as falling asleep under the stars with very little light pollution. The world seems to have come to peace with itself here.
One word….. Fantastic

Beautiful stop, amazing view. 4WD needed, local guide and driver contact below
May 2023 • Couples
Beautiful stop in Oman, the green mountains offer a fantastic view from the top.
In order to get to the top of the Jabal Al Akhdar and access the hotels (Alila, Anantara…) you need a 4x4 car.
If you don’t have one, you need to book a private driver. The ones proposed by the hotels are very expensive (Anantara told us 65 OMR round trip).
During our stay, we met an extremely nice driver, Saïd, who we highly recommend. He proposed to drive us for a very fair price (35 OMR round trip, but we gave him 40 OMR). He spontaneously gave us tour of the Jabal Al Akhdar musts to visit (Seeq village, rose distillery, rose gardens…) and was very caring since I was pregnant (drove slowly, proposed toilet stops..).
He can drive you around, not only to jabal Al Akhdar, but also Muscat and other places in the country. He is also a guide.
You can contact him through whatsapp at this number: +96898111259
