Jebel Akhdar is a mountain range known for its maze of river valleys and its fertile terraces, where fruits such as apricots and pomegranates flourish. Nearby stands Jebel Shams, the highest peak in Oman, rising to 3,018 metres. It has a second summit, and both can be explored via the W4 Trail. While much of the trek is manageable, there are stretches where route markings disappear for long distances, making it suitable only for experienced hikers. There are several excellent hotels and resorts in the area, offering accommodation, breathtaking views, and warm Omani hospitality. However, dining options are limited, so it’s a good idea to bring your own food and snacks for the day.

Located in Maksimir Park, the Zagreb Zoo can provide a day full of fun for the whole family. It is home to more than 2,000 animals from all over the world, including leopards, chimpanzees, pandas, and camels.

Gornji Grad is the upper town area of Zagreb. The main attraction here is the Stone Gate, an old entrance point to the city, now holding a shrine with a 16th-century statue of the Virgin Mary in a grille-covered niche. Many visitors come here to say a prayer or to light a votive candle.
