What is the most mountainous country in Middle East?
The most mountainous country in the Middle East is Oman. Around 80% of Oman is covered by mountains, with the Al Hajar Mountains serving as the spine of the country. The Al Hajar range begins in Muscat, where jagged peaks rise dramatically from the sea, and extends for around 650km through the interior of the country, almost reaching Yemen. Jabal Akhdar is the highest mountain in the range, with an elevation of around 3,000 metres (9,843 ft).
