View with the Room The most striking thing about Jabal Alhdar, the newest opening from the fantastically smart Alila gang,is what’s missing: noise. Stand on your balcony, 2,000 metres above sea level, overlooking a plunging precipice, and only a whisper of a breeze disturbs the peace. It feels remote. And it is.
A two hour drive from the coast and the capital, Muscat, the final 30km ascent is a head-spinning ride of serpentine bends.
Jabal Ashdar means’ the Green Mauntain in Arabic. Ask a guide to take you on a hike through one of the wadis,such as nearby Bani Habib..!
