Program details



Leave Muscat on a guided tour with our expert Gray line team through the Sumail Gap and Izki by 4WD. Your journey continues on a scenic mountain route up to the roof of Oman, the Saiq Plateau which for hundreds of years has only been accessible by donkey. Jebel Akhdar, ‘Green Mountain’, as it is popularly dubbed, offers discovery, adventure and a fascinating insight into life in one of the most inaccessible places in the Sultanate. Just as Princess Diana had, experience a sense of awe as you witness nature’s primordial beauty as seen in the soaring peaks and plunging canyons. Feel a fresh breeze as the climate cools down by as much as 15 degrees on top of the mountain. Dine at a local restaurant before taking a leisurely walk through the majestic hanging gardens which run alongside the original falaj system. Next we take you down to the remote mountain village of Soqra, a truly indescribable natural paradise that looks as if it has come right out of "The National Geographic" Magazine.
