Day 2
Wahiba Sands – Wadi Bani Khalid – Jebel Akhdar (“The Green Mountains”)
Early in the morning, before breakfast, you’ll have the chance to climb a dune and watch the desert sunrise, and enjoy a camel ride around the camp grounds — a perfect farewell to the magical landscape of Wahiba Sands.
After breakfast, depart for the vibrant Wadi Bani Khalid, one of the largest and most beautiful oases in Oman. Nestled between the desert and surrounding cliffs, the oasis is framed by white rocks and filled with turquoise freshwater pools — perfect for a relaxing swim in the cool emerald waters.
Your journey then continues into the majestic Jebel Akhdar region, known as the “Green Mountains” for its high-altitude plateaus, lush terraced farms, and blooming rose gardens.
Along the way, stop at the oasis village of Birkat Al Mouz, known for its ancient ruins, traditional falaj irrigation system, and Bayt al Ridaydah Fort. From there, ascend the mountain road to the summit of Jebel Akhdar, where crisp air and panoramic views await.
Check-in at your luxury mountain retreat. In the evening, enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the highlands.
Overnight at a premium mountain resort – recommended: Alila Jabal Akhdar / Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar 5*.
