Muscat: Across the valley from Anantara Resort, sits a quaint old village with a scenic view of the Jabal Akhar mountain range.

Ancient stone houses line its narrow alleys and stone steps.

At the edge of the village is a beautiful field of Damask roses beside a mosque

Rose gardens dot other parts of the village as well.

The Damask rose is the variety used in the production of rose water.

It is a popular hiking destination, especially when the roses are in season during April and May.
