As winter fades into memory, Jabal Akhdar—the Green Mountain—comes alive with the delicate bloom of its famed damask roses. A sight to behold and a scent to savour, the annual rose season is more than just a spectacle; it is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring connection between nature and culture.
From late March to mid-May, the mountain’s terraced farms transform into a sea of pink as thousands of roses flourish in the cool mountain air. The fragrance drifts across the landscape, signalling the start of an age-old practice: the careful harvesting of rose petals, destined to become the treasured Omani rose water used in perfumes, cuisine, and skincare. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in this extraordinary event, gaining first-hand insight into a craft that has been passed down through generations.
