Omani Village Immersion & Mountain Cuisine

Explore the high-altitude villages of Jabal Akhdar on a guided cultural tour that introduces you to traditional lifestyles preserved across generations. Begin with a scenic drive to Al Ayn or Wadi Bani Habib, where mud-brick homes perch on cliffs and narrow paths wind through pomegranate orchards. Meet with village elders who share stories of seasonal farming, falaj irrigation, and tribal customs. Partake in a hands-on cooking session in a rustic stone home where you prepare mountain dishes like harees and qabuli rice using local spices and open-flame stoves. Dine outdoors beneath apricot trees or on a panoramic terrace as the sun dips below the peaks. The meal is simple but profound, each bite layered with heritage and hospitality. This is cultural luxury: rare, rooted, and entirely real.
