They preferred to live in the mountains, where the conditions are difficult and the threats of nature are constant, despite the temptations of the city. Their children live a childhood different from their peers. So why do the people of the Green Mountain in Oman cling to their livelihood and what is life like on the mountain slopes? The documentary Sons of the Mountain takes us on an exciting exploratory journey to the Al Hajar Mountains in the north of the Sultanate of Oman, specifically to the summit of Jebel Shams, which rises 3,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the Arabian Peninsula. Despite its harshness, this mountain is full of life. On its slopes, the inhabitants built their lives through agriculture and herding, and carved houses in the rocks, most of which are modest dwellings that suit the standard of mountain life of the people who cling to their hometown despite the harsh living conditions due to the high altitude and its distance from the basic services of daily life. The people of the mountain tell us about their daily lives and why they preferred to live in the mountains, where the conditions are difficult.
