Mountain and Wadis
Born from the depths of the sea a millennia ago, the mountains that meander across Oman have assumed fantastic shapes and are an essential part of the Omani experience. Hailed as an open-air geological museum, the Sultanate is known for its geographical diversity, with dramatic peaks emerging from the landscape.
Rugged, chocolate-coloured hills rise from the deep blue sea, arid mountains sit atop desert plains and deep green palm groves fill mountain valleys, which are home to ancient settlements that have benefited from the ecological bounty surrounding them.
