Visit the traditional villages of Saiq, Al Aqr, Al Ayn in the Ad Dakhiliyah region, the most well-known agricultural area in Jabal Akhdar.

From March to April, witness the extraordinary sight of the prized Damask roses in full bloom and meet the families who continue to make rose water in their distilleries. A light picnic lunch is available for those keen to savour the moment.
