#travelwithgdp Fact: The cooler climate on the high plateau of the Al Jabal al Akhdar enables the growing of apricots, grapes, peaches, and walnuts. The Al Batinah coastal plain accounts for about two-fifths of the land area under cultivation and is the most concentrated farming area of the country.
Description: Bilad Sayt is a mountain village in Oman. The village is located on the NE slope of the Al Hajar Mountains near the highest peak in the Sultanate of Oman, Jebel Shams. Bilad Sayt can be reached through Wadi Al Sahtan and Wadi Bani Awf from NE or via Al Hamra from the SW and is only accessible by 4-wheel-drive vehicles. It has gained its popularity after the Audi ad which was shot based on this village. A beautiful scenery to look at and worth the wild drive through the mountains to reach there. Do have the Omani Laban upon reaching there. Laban means sour milk in Arabic. The Omani Laban is made of yogurt and buttermilk. It is a salty drink that is served everywhere in Oman and is usually flavored with cardamon, mint or cumin
