Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort Champions Omani Climber Nadhira Al Harthy

Taking the spirit of adventure to new heights, Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort, the Middle East’s highest luxury getaway, has honoured Nadhira Al Harthy, the first Omani woman to scale Mount Everest. The mountain lifestyle resort hosted the climber recently as part of a filming project to highlight her ground-breaking journey to climb to the highest point on Earth.

“Nadhira sets a glorious indication that empowered women can attain their dreams no matter how big,” said Dagmar Symes, General Manager of Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort. “Her achievement is admirable and will have a positive impact on the younger Omani generation.” She added, “Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar is a haven for adventurous travellers and we’re happy to support her, and those like her, on their journeys, and hopefully inspire more people to take up new ventures.”

The visit was part of a documentary called “The Dream of Everest” by Elia Saikaly, which chronicles the journey of Nadhira and three other Arab women in their ambition to scale Mount Everest. Capturing scenes from Al Jabal Al Akhdar, the project highlights the destination’s unique offering as a nature-lovers retreat, with soaring mountains and dramatic canyons. Hosting the group while they filmed in Oman is part of the resort’s commitment to actively support communities through grassroots involvement and promote local cultural awareness.

Perched 2000 meters above sea level, Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort is an ideal destination getaway during the summer months, offering guests activities such as abseiling, rock climbing, and mountain biking. The resort is home to one of the highest climbing routes in the Middle East and offers the only zip line adventures in the western part of the Hajar mountains, providing an exciting experience with unparalleled view of the canyon.
