Please note that this activity is subject to availability and weather conditions. - Diana's Point
The most famous viewpoint at Al Jabal Al Akhdar is situated in the heart of the resort. Although many local residents believe that Diana camped on this site for as long as two weeks, she came with Prince Charles on a 6-hour day trip in November 1986. Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales, arrived by helicopter on the site of the resort, which at that time was an untouched wilderness.
Charles spent most of his time painting the magnificent scenery in water colours, while Diana read a book. Tracing their steps, we have chosen the most idyllic viewpoint to build a platform for Diana's Point. We invite you to imagine Diana standing there, admiring the grandeur of nature, just as you are. The ophiolite rock slabs on which Charles and Diana walked are laced with fossils more than 230 million years old, which no doubt would have attracted the keen interest of Charles, a passionate environmentalist. - Asfour Kids Club

Nature walks around the resort inspire curiosity. Indoor and outdoor play areas offer endless fun, from a trampoline, rocking horses and a basketball hoop, a large selection of books and toys, to a playground jungle gym with swings, a slide and climbing frames.

Just for teenagers, this private enclave offers a cool place to hang out and socialise. Xbox, foosball, a billiards table and board games keep young minds engaged. The internet cafe lets them stay in touch online. Guided mountain biking and hiking trips offer the excitement of real exploration.
- Donkey Rides
The donkeys will also be used as part of Kids' Club activities. With a background story, the donkeys will be introduced to Anantara's youngsters as part of the resort's important feature and history. Each donkey will be given names to appeal more to children. The donkey ride, led by an experienced person, will also be an additional activity for children going on an adventure through the resort with specified routes.
- Jabal Activity Wall
Explore the Hajar mountain range with a variety of gradual and intermediate climbing routes. Choose your ascent - by foot, using ropes and harnesses, or trying the Via Ferrata steel cable which runs along the mountainside.
