Al Jabal Al Akhdar: According to data published by the National Center for Statistics and Information, the number of visitors to the Wilayat of Al Jabal Al Akhdar in the A'Dakhiliyah Governorate from January to the end of June 2025 reached 89,780, compared to 84,869 visitors during the same period in 2024, representing a 5.8% increase.

Other significant events, such as the Rumana affair, contributed to this.

According to statistics issued by the National Centre for Statistics and Information, the number of tourists from other Arab nationalities was 4,998, whereas foreign nationals made up the majority of visitors, accounting for 51,710.
It is worth noting that Al Jabal Al Akhdar is one of Oman's most popular tourist destinations, noted for its moderate summer temperature. The abundance of hotel amenities, rest homes, and tourist lodges, as well as the hosting of several events, has helped to attract tourists.
