Shilli-Fully Travels

We spent four nights in Al Jabal Al Akhdar, an area of mountains two and a half hours by car from Muscat. Although the road is good (Oman has invested extensively in the infrastructure in recent years), it is very steep with one sharp bend after another and therefore the last part of the drive is only accessible by 4WD. Our hotel was situated at 2,200m (7,200 feet in old money); much cooler than the coast, especially at night, with fresh mountain air and spectacular views over Oman’s Grand Canyon.
