	Al Jabal Al Akhdar
		But Al Jabal al Akhdar is not just another geological curiosity or challenge waiting to be unraveled or surmounted by the curious and the adventurous.
		One of the alluring sights on the Jabal is the glistening water cascading down the rocky mountain against a sunny backdrop.
		Al Jabal al Akhdar has not less than 300 wadis and streams most of which extend further down into the wadis of Nizwa and neighbouring areas like Izki and Al Awabi.

		The sultanate is flanked by the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, and the Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter) of Saudi Arabia, all of which contributed to Oman's isolation.
		The northernmost area, Ruus al Jibal, extends from the Musandam Peninsula to the boundary with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at Hisn al Diba.
		Behind the Al Hajar al Gharbi Mountains are two inland regions, Az Zahirah and inner Oman, separated by the lateral range of the Rub al Khali.

	Jabal Roses
		THE rose gardens of Al Jabal al Akhdar — the Green Mountain — are a sight to behold: hundreds upon hundreds of rose bushes growing on terraces cut into the side of a mountain, cascading all the way down to the bottom of the gorge.
		In April, swathes of this rocky and rugged landscape break out in a spectacular bloom of bright pink, as the famous roses of Al Jabal al Akhdar blossom in their millions exuding a rich fragrance all around the countryside.
		Al Aqar is one of several villages at the heart of the rose water cultivation and extraction business in these mountains.

	Libya Demographics and Geography - Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online
		In NW Tripolitania, the Jifarah coastal plain rises slowly to meet the N-facing limestone escarpment of Jabal Nafusah, which extends SSW from Al Khums to Nalut, near the Tunisian border.
		South of Jebel Al Akhdar is a vast desert lowland—part of As Sahra Al Libiyah (Libyan Desert), which extends to the Egyptian border—where Sarir Kalanshiyu, a large “sea” of fine mobile sands and dunes, As Sarir, and Ramlat Rabyanah are located.
		Settlement is concentrated in a few widely separated oases: Wahat Jalu and Jaghbub in N and Az Zighan and Al Jawf (the largest oases in Wahat Al Kufra) in the S. In SW Cyrenaica, Sarir Tibasti and a narrow arm of the central Saharan Tibasti Mountains cross the border into Chad.

	The Climate Of Oman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		On the Al Batinah plain, summer temperatures seldom exceed 46° C, but, because of the low elevation, the humidity may be as high as 90 percent.
		Rainfall in the mountains, particularly over Al Jabal al Akhdar, is much higher and may reach 700 millimeters.
		Because the plateau of Al Jabal al Akhdar is porous limestone, rainfall seeps quickly through it, and the vegetation, which might be expected to be more lush, is meager.

	feature articles from the Omani press / Pomegranates of Al Jabal Al-Akhdar
		Al Jabal al Akhdar’s famed fruit orchards are typically laid out terrace-style along the slopes of mountains, which are blessed with natural springs and aflaj.
		The most picturesque of these settings are the terraced gardens of Al Ayn — one of some eight pomegranate-growing villages clinging perilously to the side of a mountain close to Saiq — Al Jabal al Akhdar’s main town.
		Hamed bin Ahmed al Mayahi is one of 20 fruit growers in Al Ayn, where the pomegranate has been the village’s mainstay crop for generations.

	Oman - Geography, Climate and Population
		For planning purposes, the government in 1992 estimated the population at 2 million, but the actual figure may be closer to 1.5 million, growing at a rate of 3.5 percent per annum.
		The population is unevenly distributed; the coastal regions, the Al Batinah plain, and the Muscat metropolitan area contain the largest concentration.
		The population is heterogeneous, consisting of an ethnic and religious mix derived in large part from a history of maritime trade, tribal migrations, and contacts with the outside world.

		The eastern coastal area (Al Jabalal Akhbar) is the second area of population concentration with 21 percent.
		An inadequate sanitation system in the urban agglomerations (mostly in Jabal Akhdar but also around most of the cities of the south) leads to severe pollution of the shallow aquifers around the cities.
