Hajjar Mountains

The Hajjar Mountains form a significant range in the Arabian Peninsula, stretching across parts of Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Characterized by rugged terrain, deep wadis, and a unique, often barren beauty, the mountains offer a stark contrast to the surrounding desert landscapes. The range is approximately 38,000 square kilometers and includes peaks exceeding 3,000 meters, such as Jebel Shams, often referred to as the 'Grand Canyon of Arabia'. Visitors can explore diverse flora and fauna, ancient villages, and experience the natural beauty of the region. The mountains have been shaped by geological forces and, in recent times, by quarrying activities to supply materials for construction projects in nearby cities.
