Descrição
From Muscat: terraced rose gardens, ancient villages and canyon views — a private, chauffeur-driven day on the Green Mountain.
Oman's Green Mountain is a world apart — and worth reaching in style. Your own private chauffeur collects you from your Muscat hotel and drives you up the winding mountain road in a premium air-conditioned 4WD to the Saiq Plateau, 2,000 metres above sea level, where terraced gardens of roses, pomegranates and apricots cling to the mountainside in defiance of the desert below. Your English-, Arabic- or Hindi-speaking driver-guide shapes the day around you, at your own unhurried pace.
Walk the cliff-edge paths of Diana's Point for sweeping canyon views, explore ancient villages of stone and mud-brick, and descend to Birkat Al Mouz — a hauntingly beautiful ruined settlement at the mountain's base. In rose season (March–April), the air itself is perfumed with the famous Jabal Akhdar roses.
A day of cool mountain air, living heritage and total privacy: no group, no timetable but yours.
Priced per private group, not per person — for example, the 4x4 SUV option for up to 4 guests works out to about $97 per person.

INFORMAÇÕES IMPORTANTES
The mountain road has a police checkpoint that only allows 4x4 vehicles, so this tour runs in a 4x4 SUV (up to 4 guests per vehicle; groups of 5 to 8 travel in two vehicles).
Temperatures on the mountain are much lower than in Muscat, so bring a warm layer.
Wear comfortable shoes for the terrace walk.
In spring the terraces are known for roses and rose water; in late summer for pomegranates.
Tours are led by an English-speaking driver-guide.
Suitable for families, couples and small groups.
