Safety notes
- Mountain roads climb fast, and the temperature and the wind at the top are not the ones you set out in. Take a layer even from a warm coast.
- There is no mobile coverage in much of the range and no water on the trails. Tell somebody your route and turn back on the clock, not on the summit.

ComfortableToo hot
The high Hajar stays usable later into spring and earlier into autumn than the coast, and winter nights up there are genuinely cold. The east coast faces the Gulf of Oman, so its sea state, its diving visibility and its rain all behave differently from the west coast on the same day.
