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.
