Cutting through the Jebel Akhdar plateau is the canyon-like chasm of Wadi al Ayn. Climbing precariously along the edge of the abyss are three villages with spectacular views over the gorge below. We had a walk along and between the three villages, Al Aqr, Al Ayn and A’Sherageh.
Surrounding the villages are terraced gardens planted with palm trees and flowers and vegetables. The gardens are watered by falajs, water canals that leads the water along the plantations. They are built of stone and cement, and we could walk on the sides of the falajs between the villages.
