Jabal Akhdar is a photographer's dream, with rugged cliffs, deep valleys and traditional villages spread across the Hajar Mountains. These viewpoints reveal the region at its most spectacular, with breathtaking views.
Begin at Diana's Point
For guests at a hotel like Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Diana's Point is an essential stop, offering sweeping views across the dramatic canyon and surrounding peaks. Staying at an Oman resort nearby also makes it easy to experience the changing colours of the mountains around sunrise and sunset.
Explore the Saiq Plateau
The Saiq Plateau provides remarkable views across terraced farms, mountain villages and orchards cultivated high in the mountains. During spring, blooming Damask roses add colour to the landscape, creating particularly memorable scenes for photographers.
Discover Wadi Bani Habib
Wadi Bani Habib is a combination of mountain scenery with the remains of an old village surrounded by beautiful orchards and steep cliffs. The walk into the wadi provides changing perspectives of the traditional buildings, terraces and rugged landscape.
Follow the Village Trails
The Three Village Walk connects the villages of Al Aqur, Al Ayn and Ash Shirayjah through agricultural terraces and mountain paths. Along the route, travellers can see traditional settlements, falaj irrigation channels as well as the expansive views across the surrounding Hajar Mountains.
