Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Oman

In the second episode, Giles and Monica travel to the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar in Oman. It is the highest five-star hotel in the Middle East and a resort seeking to blend local tradition with modern tastes. Built to resemble an ancient Omani fort, and situated 2,000 metres above sea level on the rim of a dramatic canyon, the hotel has recently made the most of its location by constructing a jaw-dropping via ferrata and zip-wire rope course along the cliff edge. Led by the hotel's mountain guru Maher, Giles and Monica undertake a test-run of the stunning adventure course before it opens to guests, facing 30-metre drops and Giles's prolific fear of heights.

Giles Coren und Monica Galetti besuchen das Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort in Oman. Das höchstgelegene 5-Sterne-Hotel im Nahen Osten, das in der Architektur einer antiken omanischen Festung nachempfunden ist, liegt auf 2.000 Metern Höhe am Rand eines spektakulären Canyons. Zu den besonderen Attraktionen sollen deshalb ab sofort auch ein Klettersteig und eine Zip-Line gehören.
