Jebel shams Sky

Excellent property and outstanding host

Location, the host, the sunset, the fire pit

The location of this house was perfect, great sunset point with an amazing view. It’s right at the start of the gravel road up to the trailhead. The house is very spacious and clean and was more than spacious enough for us. Salman the owner was great, we arranged a dinner which he provided. He’s a local tour guide and provided us a transfer up the trailhead and he took us to visit a local wadi which was actually the highlight of our whole trip. If you are visiting jebel shams then would highly recommend this accommodation and reach out to Salman for things to see and do in the local area.

Perfekt beliggenhed til Jebel Shams. Utrolig imødekommende vært som gjorde alt for at vi kunne få et dejligt ophold. Blandt andet tændte han bål udenfor, så vi sad om aftenen under stjernerne. Han hjalp os med at planlægge vores tur til Jebel Shams og var vores guide på en tur til en wadi - fantastisk oplevelse. Delte også ud om en masse viden om Oman og med forslag til andre ting vi kunne opleve, hvor vi kunne undgå de store turistmængder. Vi ville uden tvivl komme igen.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr authentisch und sauber. Es ist alles vorhanden, was für einen kurzen Aufenthalt benötigt wird. Die Lage und die Aussicht sind atemberaubend. Der Gastgeber, mit dem wir 2 Ausflüge gemacht haben (Balcony Walk und Wadi Ghul), war ebenfalls sehr freundlich und antwortete schnell auf unsere Nachrichten. Er konnte uns viel über das Land, die Kultur und die Menschen erzählen. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft zur Erkundung der Jebel Shams Region wärmstens weiter.

Отличная локация, недалеко от дороги, удобный заезд, закрытая парковка, большая территория, нет соседей. Рядом Оманский гранд каньон и несколько вади. Дом большой, 2 комнаты с отдельной ванной и большой зал.. Есть отдельно стоящая кухня , мы не пользовались так как заказали еду у Салмана и она была, великолепна. Прям скучаем дома по таким завтракам и ужинам. Также он нам провел шикарную экскурсию к горному вади. С ним дошли по сложной дороге с 8 летним ребёнком. Также узнали что можно ещё интересного увидеть в округе.. Очень драольны

По дому нужно ходить в тапках. Зю

The location, the view, the quality of the house and especially the kind and warm welcome of the host was all amazing We loved our stay here The dinner was very delicious Rooms are spacious beds are very comfortable Definitely we would come back here

Amazing location and views. Nice and spacious property. Kitchen had basic cooking utensils and a gas stove. Ambience was heavenly

Should mention it is difficult to reach without a powerful car. But it was not a problem for us, we somehow managed to reach the location in our basic sedan with 4 passengers and lot of luggage because of driving skills. This is not a problem if the traveller researches the location properly, not a negative thing at all

Super Lage, Super Haus, Super Gastgeber

الموقع ممتاز والبيت نظيف ومرتب وتعامل صاحب المكان قمة فالاخلاق

The view

I had a truly wonderful stay at this accommodation during my trip to Oman. The sunset views from the property were absolutely breathtaking, making each evening unforgettable. The room was spacious, and the entire place was impeccably clean and well-maintained. What really made our stay special, though, was the kindness and hospitality of the host. Not only was the host incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, but they also went out of their way to return a personal item we had accidentally left behind—delivering it to us even though we were far away. This was my first time visiting Oman, and thanks to the host, I was able to see just how warm, kind, and generous Omani people can be. I’m deeply grateful for the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Apartments very clean, perfumed. Good location especially who comes to hikes. View to mountains. Host offers to order breakfast and dinner. We order dinner. It was delivered at the time as agreed. I recommend ordering. The food is home-made, individually for you. Very tasty, varied. There was a lot of food, we felt a little guilty that we couldn't eat it all. The host is very honest. Price for apartments and dinner was very affordable.

Property was clean , well equipped . The host was very helpful .

No near by places for restaurants, we cooked in house

We had such a pleasant stay here! Salman's brother welcomed us and gave us useful tips for balcony walk. He recommended doing the hike at sunrise because of the temperatures, and we could have home made breakfast afterwards. The place is really quiet, the room was big and equipped with all the necessary ammenities. We were the only guests so we had the house for ourselves. It has a big porche with very nice views. We also decided to have dinner there, it was simple and comfort food, very plenty and enough for us. Thank you for everything! My boyfriend says Visca Barça! 😂

Nothing.

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!

Amaizing place especially during the sunrise.

Nothing

Nice and clean place. We were family of 2 adults and 2 kids. House with 2 separete rooms was perfect option for us. The best is that here you have privacy with no other structure near you. Silent and peaceful place. The host was very kind and hospitable. Here, you can have your own barbeque area for cooking + campfire area. So if you bring your own stuff like meet etc you have all facilities for cooking and storage. Also, the location is good to enjoy the view and nature, all surrounded by mountains.

Perfect house, guide and food. Thank you very much, Salman (and your wife).

It’s a standalone house in a very picturesque location and close to W4 and W6 trails (20 and 30min drive respectively). Key characteristics: 1. Very comfortable beds 2. The house is spacious and cozy 3. A separate kitchen, which can be used for cooking 4. Very quiet at night 5. Excellent views right off the porch 6. Simple cafe in 2min drive with tasty food 7. Excellent dinner is offered by the owner at a reasonable price 8. Genuinely great host

We liked everything

We had an amazing stay at Jebel Shams Sky. This is not just a room but an entire mountain cabin with two master bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to six people. There is also a spacious open-plan dining room, coffee corner, and sitting area. As it was just my husband and me, we only used one of the bedrooms, which, along with the en-suite bathroom, was really large and clean. As for the location, the name truly says it all: breathtaking sunsets and a sky full of stars! The host, Salman, is incredibly kind and hospitable, and on top of that, he’s an excellent Jebel Shams tour guide. We did a Wadi Nakhr tour by 4x4 and the Jebel Shams Balcony Walk - both were among our best activities and memories in Oman. Highly recommended.

All perfect.

Property was fantastic, it had everything for a quiet and peaceful stay. Owner was excellent with his comms and interaction. Food option for dinner was outstanding, home cooked Omani meal.

Amazing location of the house, the view was stunning. Traditional house made of the nearby stones. Salman and his brother were extremely helpful and greeted us with coffee and dates. Upon our request they brought us traditional dinner and local breakfast. They also offered transportation ord guiding services. In the morning it took us 30 min to drive from the house to Jebal Shems W6 Balcony Walk. Great choice!

We had the best stay. Salman and his brother were very welcoming, took a great care of us, gave us great tips about the area. The place was very comfortable and clean, the food was very good, and the view stunning.

the owner of the premises is totally at the disposal of his guests, offering an exceptional welcome and delivering traditional omani meals of a very high quality. The location is magical.

Truly an amazing escape. Perfectly secluded, pollution-free, and blessed with stunning views. The cold weather in December/ January makes the stay even more magical. Jabel Shams Sky is worth every penny. House is extremely clean, spacious with two bedrooms and all required amenities. A separate equipped kitchen with open dining area, campfire, BBQ place. Jabel Shams Sky will be the perfect choice to experience a perfect holiday The property owner, who is also a guide there is incredibly friendly. He can take you on a tour of the area and arrange delicious homemade meals (both services are chargeable). Highly recommended for a complete experience.

I don't think we have anything that we did not like. Wifi availability would definitely be a plus for the stay.

The house is located before the dirt road. The house is big, clean and there is all confort Is possible booking hike on the mountain with the owner, Smart comunication, the owner is always available Thanks for all Luca

Nice location and very cooperative owner

The kitchen is far

I recently had an amazing experience staying in this room. I can definitely say that it was one of memorable experiences of my life. I didn’t have much expectations but it absolutely a wonderful stay. The stay itself is a masterpiece of comfort and privacy. The rooms were neat and clean with all facilities needed. Nestled on a pristine stretch of mountains with fantastic views where I could enjoy the stunning sunrise and sunset. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this stay if you are a nature lover and you will have extreme fun if you go as group or as two or more families together.

Great location and clean place with awesome hospitality,

Quite place , and the hostage consider all what you can need 😀

Not in the top of the mountain 😊

It is very clean, suitable for families. Amazing view of the mountains creating a sense of relaxation. The host was very hospitable and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Suitable amenities available for use.

House is amazing, beautifully located, host is a great person, having a lot of interesting stories to share as he is a local guide. We have ordered meals and they were cooked by our host's wife and food was just amazing. Highly recommended!

Great location, not only fantastic view but also good base for Jebel Shams if you like to go morning. If you don't drive 4x4, Salman (the host) can take you there. We also liked home-made dinner and breakfast. View for sunrise and sunset.

Everything was so great. Especially the hospitality of Salman, thank you very much for helping us out with food! Amazing place, clear recommendation!

The outdoor part of the lodge was still under construction and Wifi would have been great. But that's not important at all. This place is absolutely great nevertheless.

The host supported our stay in every possible way. Despite the poor weather he was able to identify the best timing for a vist to the Jebel Shams canyon. Helpfull in providing meals.

Very nice location. Beautifull view. Quiet and very well équipement. We had a wonderfull expérience. Thank you for the welcome and the dîner ànd breakfast. We appreciated to spend time with our guest to better know Oman people. Thank you !

Big room with one double bed and one single bed, perfect for three adults or a family with two children, lovely view of the sunset, and brand-new, comfortable bedding throughout. Salman was really friendly and gave us wood for the bonfire because we had forgotten to bring it. we conducted a Bonfire and Bar BQ in the Guesthouse.The location and view were excellent, and there was ample parking inside the guest house for three or four Cars. Each room included a double bed with extra single bed, an large hall, and a separate kitchen was also available. Microwave oven/fridge and kettle with coffee and tea were available. Large open space was available, as was the large living room with dining table.

Very clean house, beautiful design, magnificent views from outside. The host is really helpful. I was there only for one night but I wish to stay there for longer and enjoy the peace of the place. Highly recommend.

An amazing guesthouse in the mountains with an incredible view. Wonderful service and food from Salman, a real hero!

Everything was good.

Mr Sulieman polite.respectful helpful Person. Location is very quiet and peaceful for anyone who wishes to refresh his mind & soul . I will definitely go again.InshaALLAH.

Jebel Shams Sky is a brand new accomodation in a fantastic location. The house is beautiful and spacious and gives stunning views especially for the sunset. The king size bed is super comfy. Best of all is the host: he was born in the area and has lots of information and recommendations. He is very helpful and friendly and cares about all your inquiries.

There is still some construction work inside and outside to finish the kitchen, heating and second sleeping room (as of January 2024). The mattress of the single bed is hard as a rock.
