Cottages in Al Ḩamrāʼ

it’s good for family and friends. barbecue area, play area, parking , kitchen with utensils available

Beautiful place, very private, good for a short visit.

Nice guesthouse with 2 double rooms (one with a queen bed for 2 people and the second one with two separate twin beds). The guesthouse also has a nice private parking space and a large kitchen & seating that are shared for the two rooms. Considering the mountain environment and the altitude the guest house is very nice, convenient and clean. There's a private bathroom for each of the rooms. As a family with 2 kids we booked both the rooms and the whole guesthouse was available for us. We are very happy we stayed here and would be happy to come again. The owner is very helpful and friendly and lives in a house next to the guest house. The guest house is located in mountains in the altitude of 1950m, at a village of Al Ahyl. The guest house is 50m from the main mountain road. It takes one hour to drive from the Shell Al Hamra fuel station. The first 20km is a nice asphalt, then around 10 km non-asphalt road (but we made it with our non-4WD rental car without issues) and the up in the mountains the last 5 km is again a nice asphalt road. Just in front of the guest house there is a very nice small supermarket with wide choice and normal prices. You can buy food there to cook in the kitchen. Next to the supermarket there's a mosque. The closest cafeteria is Cliff café, couple of minutes of drive further, but it looks very touristic, non-local. For mountains, our first day we parked in front of Sama Heights Resort, 1km down the asphalt road and walked to the southern peak of Jabal Shams. The other peak (highest in fact) is a military radar and is not open for public. The hike is in principle easy, just walking 10 km (each direction) up the hill (1000m higher). With kids it took us a kind of 12 hours return. Very nice nature and very few tourists. The second day we went to the famous balcony hike. For this you drive 4 km further where the last 1 km is quite bad road for a normal car. The balcony hike is very touristic including the coffee places around.

View is amazing!!! Breakfast is awesome- traditional omani food is perfect at the beginning of the day at the terrace with the Oasis view. Host is very friendly and Client-oriented- really appreciate his hospitality. Really great value for money offer, highly recommended!

clean new room, beautiful view, quiet. Had a separate area that housed a kitchen and another for dining. Well thought out.

Location was perfect and host was very supportive. Mr Ahmed is fantastic host & person who made all arrangements including breakfast..

The location, the host, the warm welcome. Simply everything!!! This place is highly recommended

We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful villa, which was exclusively ours during our visit. The property is spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Additionally, its location is convenient, being just a 40-minute drive from Jabal Shams Balcony Walk. Although we did not have the opportunity to meet the owner, Ali, in person, he was exceptionally helpful and provided excellent advice over the phone. He remained available to assist us whenever needed. I highly recommend this villa for anyone seeking a relaxing and well-appointed place to stay.

Stayed at this villa for a night. It's a newly built villa with spacious rooms. it's perfect for anyone going in a group of 5 people. The front yard is big and the gate leads to a beautiful spot to witness the sunset along the canyons. Mr. badr was helpful in responding to our requests. Had a good stay at this property.
