Motorbikes are still not allowed up Jebel Akhdar. Three of us were refused permission this weekend. Apparently, and I'm quoting the officer at the checkpoint, "the Bedu don't like their goats scared".
Jebel Shams has a graded road right to the top. It's rutted, dusted and stony but can be done with a road bike if you're careful.
