Highlights
This hike starts from the Wadi (a dry waterway) just minutes from the hotel grounds. You can get an accurate picture of the natural wadi systems, admiring the various shrubs and shrubs in this fertile mountain landscape and the formations of the rocks. The hike ends near an impressive rock formation, which becomes a spectacular natural waterfall in the rainy season. Climb up to discover the abandoned village of Sarab (which is closest to the hotel), the original home of the local people. Some are closely associated with the hotel today. Go on an expedition, go into the houses and put yourself in the life of that time not so long ago. You can get on the gravel path to the main road leading to the hotel. Location: Al-Jabel Al-Akhder Mountain ( 2 1/2 From Muscat) Level 3 Challenging Some steep or exposed sections. Mid to good fitness required. Time: 3 hour

About Nizwa
Nizwa is an old oasis town at the foot of Oman's Hajar Mountains, once the capital of the country, with a great round fort and a famous livestock market.
Nizwa stands in an oasis of date palms in the interior of Oman, where the Hajar Mountains meet the desert plain, and was once the capital of the country and a centre of learning and religion. The massive Nizwa Fort, built in the 17th century, has a tall round tower, and from its roof there is a view across the palms and the mountains. Beside it lies the souk, where silver daggers, pottery, halwa and dates are sold.
Top-ranked sights in Nizwa: Nizwa Fort, Nizwa Souk, Birkat al Mouz Ruins (Harat Al Siybani).
