After Nizwa we continued our journey to Al Jabal Al Akhdar. It’s on the way back home to Muscat. It’s about 30 minutes drive from Nizwa. The temperature now in Muscat is 27deg celcius. But the moment when we reached the military check-point at the foot of the mountain, we were pleasantly surprised by the temperate and breezy atmosphere that greeted us. The temperature at that time was 21deg celcius.
As we made our winding way up to crest of the mountain we can feel the weather getting cooler n breezing. My kids were all so excited. It took us about 30 minutes from the check point to reach up to the mountain. By the time when we reached there, the temperature dropped down to 12deg celcius. It was so cold.
Up there on the mountain u can see another part of town n community. At the heels of the mountain the surroundings are typically semi-arid features, largely rocky terrain and dusty soil. The view is so beautiful n pleasing.
This is actually my first time being here. We were guided by Nazri who has been there several times. I would recommend for those here in Muscat who has not been here before, u should go there once especially during this cool weather. U can only take 4 wheel drive up there.
