The eastern Al Hajar mountains are lower relief than to the west where they reach 3000m but there are still some impressive locations.

This view was taken from the Muscat-Sur highway 17 on our return from Wadi Shab. I believe the dipping rocks in the foreground are Permo-Triassic sandstones while the higher distant mountains are Pre-Cambrian to Paleozoic. The location is on the northern flank of the large Late Eocene Sahih Atat anticline which is linked to major thrusting as the Arabian plate moved northwards relative to the Eurasian plate.

Best appreciated large.
