Explore The Saiq Plateau

Embark on a guided walk through the stunning Saiq Plateau, where you’ll be greeted with awe-inspiring views of craggy peaks and steep ravines.

As you wander through the terraced landscapes, marvel at walnut and pomegranate trees, and the spectacular damask roses – Oman’s pride – which burst into bloom from March to May, painting the mountainsides in vivid pink.

Discover the enchanting villages of Jabal Akhdar, where nimble-footed goats navigate the sheer cliff edges with ease. Descend 200 steps to reach the breathtaking Wadi Bani Habib, an abandoned mud-built hamlet nestled in the valley, surrounded by flourishing orchards still nourished by an ancient irrigation channel.

Experience genuine Omani hospitality with a local lunch shared with a warm and welcoming family, offering a true taste of life in this remarkable region.
