Jebel Akdar – 3-Day Adventure – Oman

Starting
AED

Jebel Akhdar, often referred to as the “Green Mountain,” is one of Oman’s most picturesque destinations. This three-day adventure promises breathtaking landscapes, serene villages, and a peek into the region’s rich cultural tapestry. Nestled at over 2,000 meters above sea level, Jebel Akhdar offers a unique mix of cool climate and lush greenery, making it a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

On top of that, Jebel Akhdar is also about immersing yourself in the local culture. The small villages scattered throughout the mountain are home to warm and welcoming locals who are keen to share their way of life. Tasting traditional Omani cuisine, exploring ancient forts, and learning about traditional farming techniques are just some of the experiences that await you, if you'd like to spend a few more days and engulf yourself in Omani culture and way of life.

 

*Our regular itinerary is 3-days, but we can customise the tour to 2 days upon request. WhatsApp us for details.

I joined ECC in 2022 and have been a season pass holder since then. The trails they offer are unique; after your first hike, you’ll want to keep going back again and again….and again. 😂 I never thought hiking would be possible in the UAE, but ECC has made it happen—and it’s incredibly fun! Their experienced team not only guides you on the trails but also teaches you about the local flora and fauna, along with interesting bits of history. Kudos to ECC! To more trails next season!

The best licensed hiking group in UAE. Period. 10 stars. Their hikes are well thought out, and stunning. They make sure no one is left behind by always having 1 person at the start and at the end of the group. They even show you how to climb tough areas by showing exactly where to keep each of your feet. Highly recommend their season pass.
