Ibra Oman
Ibra Oman. Munisifeh and Kanatar village. January 2014.
Ibra (Arabic: ابراء) is the second largest city in the Ash Sharqiyah Region of Oman. It is located about 170 km (2 hours) from Muscat and has a population estimated at 55,000 people.
Ibra is one of the oldest cities in Oman and was once a centre of trade, religion, education and art. The city acquired its importance as an important meeting point at the base of the Ash Sharqiya. Ibra is home of the huge Al-Harthy tribe, one of the biggest and most powerful tribes in Oman. The Al-Maskary tribe and the Al-Riyamy tribe are also both very prevalent in Ibra.

Oman - Middle East's best kept secret, part 2: Muscat City Sightseeing
As a first trip to the Middle East we chose The Sultanate of Oman and the area around the capital of Muscat. It was a trip with interesting impressions and a totally different landscape than we have ever seen before.
Do you want to travel to Oman? This is a short sneak peak of what you can expect, and we recommend a rental car so you can drive around and explore on your own in this beautiful country.
In the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque we could admire it's wonderful architecture and ornaments, especially the magnificent chandelier in the main prayer room. This wonderful building was opened in 2001. As a comparison with other mosques we've visited this one is more peaceful and it gave us time to admire it and to think of its purpose. If you as a non-Muslim plan a visit here it's wise to come here in the morning of any day but Friday. However, the mosque can be admired from the outside at all times.

Coldest Place of Middle East - Jabal Akhdar
#Traveloman #JabalAkhdar #Omanindia #Bestplacestovisit #top10placetovisitingulf
Without a guide or some inside information, Jabal Akhdar (Green Mountain) may seem something of a misnomer to the first-time visitor. Firstly, Jebel Akhdar refers not to a mountain as such, but to an area that encompasses the great Saiq Plateau, at 2000m above sea level. Secondly, the jebel keeps its fecundity well hidden in a labyrinth of wadis and terraces where the cooler mountain air (temperatures during December to March can drop to -5°C) and greater rainfall (hailstones even) encourage prize pomegranates, apricots and other fruit. With a day or two to explore this ‘top of the beanstalk’, the determined visitor will soon stumble across the gardens and orchards that make this region so justly prized. Ask your hotel for a hand-drawn map picking out some of the highlights of the area.
The Jebel Akhar, Jabal Akhdar or Al Jabal Al Akhdar (Arabic: الجبل الأخضر meaning the Green Mountain), is part of the Al Hajar Mountains range in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate of Oman. It extends about 300 km (186 mi) northwest to southeast, between 50–100 km (31–62 mi) inland from the Gulf of Oman coast, and is one of Oman’s most spectacular areas. The highest point, Jebel Shams (Mountain of the Sun), is around 3,000 metres (around 9,800 feet) high.
The area is about a 45-minute drive from Nizwa and is known for its traditional rose water extraction and agricultural products including pomegranates, walnuts, apricots, black grapes and peaches. It is also the site of honey bee breeding for much of Oman. Agricultural production is improved by the use of Aflaj irrigation channels and their associated terraces system devised by the local farmers, who have lived on this mountain for hundreds of years. The Jebel is mostly inhabited by the ancient Arab tribe Bani Riyam (al Riyamy). Most descendants of the tribe are now in the four nearby villages, including Nizwa, Izki and Ibra.
In August 2011, Sultan Qaboos designated Jebel Akhdar a nature reserve in a bid to conserve its unique yet fragile biodiversity. A decree issued by Sultan Qaboos established the ‘Jebel Akhdar Sanctuary for Natural Sceneries.’ The Minister of Environment and Climate Affairs has authority to draft guidelines regulating access and developmental activity within the reserve.
