Jabal Akhdar is known for its unique pomegranate and roses. Pomegranate from here is considered the best in the world for its quality and nutrition.
Spring is the best time to visit Jebel Akhdar (Green Mountain) when the terrace plantations are lush and vibrant and the roses are in bloom. This is one of the highest points in Oman and gives sweet relief from the heat as temperatures start to soar into the 30Cs.
