Скачать или смотреть Day with Wakkan Village

Wakan is a small mountain village located in the south of Al Batinah Region, sitting at an altitude of about 2000 meters above sea level. The location is an approximate 90-minute or 150 kilometers drive from Muscat, the capital, and can only be accessed via four-wheel vehicles as the roads leading up there can be a bit rough.

But once you’re up there, and get to gaze at the pink, delicious fragrant blooms set against the traditional houses, towering palm trees, and mighty mountains in the background, it will definitely be worth the drive.

May and June are the best times to visit the village and witness the blossoming. In addition to apricots, the locals grow pomegranate, grapes and date palms.

If you love hiking and trekking then the good news is that this village has a trekking path that links it to Jabal Akhdar, a mountain that is part of Oman’s famous Al Hajer Mountain Range in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, a popular tourist destination, and a favorite location amongst hikers and mountain climbers.

Oman is a place of sublime beauty and a great tourist destination. Massive Rocky Mountains, stunning wadis, and beautiful beaches are mostly the center of attraction to tourists. However, the Villages of Oman are also not to be ignored and your Oman trip will be incomplete without visiting them.

The terraced garden of Wakan village is one of the most charming scenes. During Apricot Blossom, the whole area turns white picturesque. You will see colorful butterflies roaming around from flower to flower. During the harvesting season, the village people turn into a festive mood and collect golden-colored apricot in baskets.

Wakan Village will always mesmerize you with its scenic beauty and uniqueness no matter which season you go.
