Da'an Al Pesaiteen Coffee Shop

Jebel Akhdar


This tiny coffee shop – one of a series of government-built outlets all over Jebel Akhdar, located in pretty picnic spots – offers tea, coffee, soft drinks and basic snacks such as egg rolls (in bread) and dal. It makes a good drinks stop, particularly as there are attractive picnic shelters to enjoy the view with some shade.
