Description
Private Best of Jebel Akhdar Journey through the exquisite scenery of lush green mountains in a 4WD vehicle with your tour guide. Everything, from Princess Diana's Point to the beauty of terraces and climbing mountain peaks will fill the day. This adventure is one that you remember for a lifetime. Your day begins when your guide picks you up in the fabulous 4WD that will transport you around the area of Jebel Akhadar. Your vehicle will climb mountains that only donkeys could handle as you get to absorb some of mother nature's finest vistas. Endless peaks contrasted with plunging canyons and lush greenery create picture perfect images, so bring your camera! A stop at an area affectionately named Princess Diana's Point is quite stunning. Apparently this is one of Diana's most favorite places in Oman, and one can understand why as the view into the "Green Mountains" and villages is more than impressive. You will enjoy the ambiance and flavors of the area when you dine at a local restaurant before taking a walk around the hanging gardens which run parallel to the original falaj system. Your afternoon continues as you head down to a secluded village in Soqra. Although small, the mighty beauty it exudes is over the top magnificent! This is one journey you will never forget. Please Note: Vehicles available for this tour accommodate groups of up to 5 guests maximum. Groups with more than 5 guests will need to book multiple vehicles. Please take this information into consideration when booking. During the Holy Month of Ramadan and the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, there will be no entertainment, no belly dancing, and alcohol will not be served.
