The Jebel Akhdar region, a part of the Al Hajar Mountains range in Nizwa, Oman, is known for its cooler climate relative to the surrounding desert areas. This makes it an exceptional destination within Oman, particularly during the months when the lowlands are hot. The best time to visit Jebel Akhdar is between September and May. During this period, the weather is more temperate, allowing for pleasant outdoor activities like trekking, sightseeing, and exploring the area's stunning terraced gardens.
April is especially favorable for those interested in nature, as the mountain slopes are blooming with roses and the famous Rose Festival takes place, during which visitors can witness the process of traditional rose water extraction. For comfortably warm weather, without the summer's scorching heat, plan your visit in early autumn (September to November) or late spring (March to May). These months are also ideal for capturing photographs of the dramatic landscape, as the visibility is high, and the light is often perfect for highlighting Jebel Akhdar's rugged beauty.
