Hi Jo
The camp I use is located between the lower hajar mountain about 60 or 80 km from Buraimi. way point
N24 38.904 E56 03.446

Yes I agree that the weather at night can be very cold. In this area Iahve not yet recorded but will not go below 10C.
A good camp fire and a good sleeping bag will do the trick.

Hey Jo,

I have been to Jabal Akhdar myself quite a number of times.. I must say it surely is an awesome place. THe last time I been there the temp in my car showed me 2Centi and on the side it was written ICE :)

Seriously be it OMAN once again and Jabal Akhdar I am surely up for it... But as Mpenzi said, a good tent with sleeping bags will do the trick..

Mpenzi, I have seen the spot on Google Earth and I know the desert patch about 10km east. These mountains have always been tempting...

How long do you want to stay? Only one night? My problem is having meetings on thursday afternoon makes it impossible staying already thuresday night (you will not postpone to friday?).

Tks

Jo
