Al Hajar Mountains

The Al Hajar Mountains, right outside the front door of our hotel, the Al Bustan Palace. I just found them amazing. These mountains separate the low coastal plain of Oman from the high desert plateau and are the highest mountain range in the eastern Arabian Peninsula.

This is the sixth in a series of what will probably be eight images taken around the hotel and its beach. It was all pretty gorgeous!

They are very peaky mountains. Nice of the hotel to put them there.
