In the rest of the country, a narrow and fertile coastal plain fronts the Gulf of Oman in the north; from there the land rises into the rugged Hajar Mountains. Oman’s highest point is Jabal Akhdar which reaches 9,776 ft. (2,980 m) and is marked on the map by a yellow triangle, is located in this mountain region.

Central and southeast, a few scrubby hills and low mountains dot the central desert landscape and coastal areas. 

As observed on the map, to the west, the pebbly, desert-like land slopes gently into the sands of the Rub’ Al Khali Desert. 

There are no perennial rivers or lakes of note. The Gulf of Oman has the lowest point in the country at 0 m.
