Rugged & Beautiful Landscapes

One of the most striking things about Oman is its mountains. The Hajar Mountains run through the country's heart, offering stunning scenery that looks other-worldly. These rugged mountains reach out of the earth as randomly and abundantly as weeds in a garden and offer an unexpected, harsh, and beautiful landscape. The mountains are home to many ancient forts and villages, allowing you to step back in time and explore Oman's rich history.
