Hajjar

Hajjar, a variant transliteration of Hajar, commonly refers to the Hajjar (Hajar) Mountains, a major mountain range in the eastern Arabian Peninsula that spans parts of Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The range forms a natural barrier along the Gulf of Oman coast and influences climate and biodiversity in the region.

Geography and geology: The Hajar extends roughly 700 kilometers (about 435 miles). It includes rugged limestone cliffs, deep canyons and wadis. Notable peaks include Jebel Shams, the highest point in Oman at about 3,000 meters, and Jebel Akhdar, the Green Mountain, at around 2,980 meters.

Other uses: In addition to geography, Hajjar is used as a surname among Arabic-speaking communities. It also appears in place names and cultural references in the Arab world. The word itself is linked to rocks or stone in Arabic, reflecting the geological character of the range.
