Overview of the main Northern coastal mountain range of Oman near Nizwa (light rocks). Altitude varies from 1500 to 3000 m in altitude. Deep canyons dissect the limestone plateau and have water springs and pools. These canyons are called ‘wadis’, dry river beds. The lower parts are dominated by black rocks of oceanic crust called ophiolites which have very little vegetation.
