Jebel Akhdar – الجبل الأخضر
Famous for its rose-water; taken from the petals of a small rose grown, along with pomegranate, apricot, peach and walnut.
A wonderful retreat during the summer months: when the temperature at sea level can get unbearably hot.
There are a number of very old abandoned villages, left unoccupied when the local population moved for the trappings of modernity.
