Guided hike in Al-Jabel Al-Akhder Mountain — Adventure things to do in Nizwa

Three-hour guided hike from Wadi near the hotel to the abandoned village of Sarab, with stunning rock formations and insights into the local way of life.

This guided hike begins at the Wadi, just a few minutes from the hotel grounds, and takes you through the lush mountain landscape of Al-Jabel Al-Akhder. The trail showcases the natural wadi systems and a variety of shrubs while leading to a remarkable rock formation, which dramatically transforms into a waterfall during the rainy season.

After some time, the hike culminates at the abandoned village of Sarab, offering a glimpse into the lives of the local people who once inhabited this area. Participants can explore the village structures, gaining context on the region's history. The hike is moderately challenging, with some steep or exposed sections, so a good level of fitness is advisable. The total duration is around three hours, so plan accordingly.
