Aside from that, travellers can also witness captivating sunsets and sunrises during the journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember that an off-roading vehicle is required to reach the mountain peak. That said, if you are driving on an off-road trial for the first time, here is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/off-roading-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to drive on different terrains<\/a>.&nbsp; There are only two restaurants at the top of Jebel Akhdar; therefore, it is recommended to pre-book the rooms.
