Jebel Akhdar villages and the rose season
2 to 3 hours
April for roses; October to April for walking
A short trail links the villages of Al Ayn, Ash Shirayjah and Saiq along the edge of the wadis, between terraces of pomegranate, walnut and rose and old falaj water channels. In April the villages smell of roses, picked at dawn and distilled in traditional clay ovens.
Good to know
- Only four-wheel drives may take the mountain road
- Winter nights are cold
