Although much of the country has a desert or semi-desert and relatively flat territory, the Sultanate of Oman has excellent mountains, which are part of the Hajar Mountains (in Arabic language: جبال الحجر ), located northeast of Oman and east of the United Arab Emirates, and constitute the mountain range highest in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

Some of the highest peaks in Oman are located on the border with United Arab Emirates, since in some cases, their position was taken as a reference for the drawing of the border limits between both countries. [1]

A boundary agreement was signed and ratified in 2003, covering the entire border between Oman and the United Arab Emirates, including the Omani enclaves on the Musandam peninsula and in Mahdah, but the contents of the agreement, nor the detailed maps showing the alignment, have been published,[2] although border milestones and fences have been installed in some places. The future publication of these agreements and maps could make it necessary to modify the content of this annex.

This list includes the name and location of the summits located entirely within the territory of Oman, or at least with its summit located on the border line, regardless of its height. The list is open to new additions referring to mountains that meet these conditions, with a known name and position, and whose reference data is supported by historical maps or other reliable documentary sources.

The list only includes the mountains that, by an objective classification, can be considered as independent and individual mountains, as opposed to subsidiary mountains of a larger one, sub-summits or simple high points.

Many of these mountains are known by different names, the result of local tradition and of the various transcriptions from Arabic to English, so that an individual reference note includes the alternative names with which the mountain has been identified at some point, accompanied by their respective documentary sources.

The region is represented in different satellite images, mainly Google Earth, Google Satellite and Bing Satellite. The exact coordinates of each summit and its altitude, with respect to the sea level, have been established by comparing the OpenTopoMap and OpenMapTiles topographic maps with these images, treating each with the greatest objectivity and the same measurement criteria for all the summits. In some cases, direct recognition and location by GPS have also been used, or references have been checked against data provided by hikers and climbers in itineraries published online.

References provided by the prestigious geographic database of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency of the United States Department of Defense have also been taken into account.

In this version of the article, the values ​​of prominence, nor topographic isolation, were not taken into account to give priority to the task of identifying toponyms and locating the summits.
