Jebel shams Sky

Loved the spectacular location. Having the whole building away from anyone else meant we did not have to worry about the kids running riot enjoying themselves in the mountain air. The iconic view out towards the Mountain of the Sun was spectacular and we enjoyed sitting out and watching the sun set. Khalid and his brother brought the meals directly from their home - the Omani dishes were mouthwatering (fragrant rice, chicken, Tuna, Dahl) and helped to replenish our exersions from touring the Wadi Damn pools and then the Balcony walk. Khalid was able to provide advice on where to go and what to do together with advice on the best time to complete the balcony walk. When more detail was required he helped us with what we needed through google translate.

We loved the building which seemed to be recently completed, however, some of the waste building supplies were still over the wall. One of the beds was very firm. All minor issues - this was a fantastic stay. Thank you Khalid and family!

Excellent stay with beautiful view. Veryy friendly host.

The best accommodation I had during my trip in oman. Wonderful condition, very friendly owner and very tasty food.

An exceptional guesthouse with super star service from Salman & his family 😊 Salman reached out to clarify my questions in a timely manner (one week before my stay) and made me feel secure ahead of tine. Additionally, he’s a great guide and knew the best time to organise the Jebel Shams hike being a local. The accommodation was equipped with fast wifi (not that you would need it in a serene location like this) - specifically, the sunset was spectacular. Generous dinner & breakfast sets were delivered to the guesthouse. Lastly, a big shout out to Salman’s brother who helped me drive my 2WD down the mountain (should have definitely gotten a 4WD) to the city and accompanied me to Al Hoota caves as well 🙏

Salman is a very friendly host. He’s also a great guide for beautiful walks in the surroundings, especially to Wadi Nakr. Beautiful, challenging hike but you’re rewarded at the end with a beautiful cave lake, that’s refreshing to swim in, before returning. Upon request his wife cooks authentic Omani dinner. While you’re having dinner, Salman keeps you company and he is genuinely interested in his guests. The house is roughly a 20 minute drive from the start of the balcony walk, ideal for a morning hike. To Wadi Nakr is about the same distance. There’s a tarmac road until the house.

We had no negative experiences, here.

This is the place that you like it in the moment. The place has kitchen, two sleeping rooms and two bathrooms, everything very clean. The view is perfect and you can enjoy quite surrounding. Our host also kindly help us with some very useful informations.

The location was perfect, we could reach easily the balcony view and strategic point to watch the sunset. It was a very cozy Oman mountain house and they also offered their famous dates. We booked also the dinner and the breakfast and it was delicious and incredibily fulfilling, we tried their typical food and we loved it. But the most amazing point was the owner of the house, thanks to his advice we were able to drive directly through Whadi Ghul by following him, it was an incredible experience that we would have missed without him. He also gave us advices on other attractions but due to lack of time we weren't able to see them. Anyway, beautiful house and kind owner, we really recommend this place!

Nothing in particular, there was just only one bed not particularly comfortable

Great location in the middle of the mountains with a large room and a shared area. There are only 2 rooms and we were the only guests so we had the entire place for ourselves. The hosts offered dinner (5 OMR/person) and breakfast (3 OMR/person).

Payment information didn’t say that host only accepted cash. It is best to be prepared for this.

Jabal Shams sky offered an experience that made us feel as though we were touching the sky. The night sky was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. Our host was exceptionally kind and helpful, personally guiding us through the area and sharing insights about local attractions and adventure trips. Although we weren't prepared for them this time, we’re definitely looking forward to exploring them on our next visit. The place was even more stunning than it appeared in the photos, and the sunset view was nothing short of spectacular. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, making the entire stay worth every penny.

Nothing to say

If you don't spend a night here, you will miss an incredible view and the most beautiful sunset! The furnishing is great, you can find everything you need and everything is really clean. We will definitely come back, thank you!
