One of the key attractions of this year’s “Rumana” event is the fig-picking experience, which has become one of the most popular activities during the Al Jabal Al Akhdar season. Visitors begin their journey with an introductory tour led by a local farmer, followed by the hands-on experience of picking figs directly from the trees. This activity fosters a unique connection between visitors and nature, while also providing opportunities for memorable photos. The experience is both educational and entertaining, making it ideal for families and local agriculture enthusiasts.
Coinciding with the Al Jabal Al Akhdar Festival, the “Rumana” event celebrates the agricultural and tourism potential of the wilayat, blending authentic agritourism with vibrant family-friendly atmospheres.
This year, visitors can enjoy direct fruit-picking experiences—including pomegranates, figs, and pears—during their harvest seasons, in addition to weekly educational and recreational workshops catering to all age groups.
The event’s open-air stage features interactive performances and family competitions, while children can enjoy a dedicated entertainment zone with various games and a miniature car racing track.
