Cozy and warm tents. Very friendly hosts who are willing to do extra to comfort guests (especially the chef, Mr. Ashfaq).

Sumit Oman

Our room was clean and sanitized , there is no wifi which is good for us for a night The only thing we didn’t like was they wanted to charge us 5 RO for bonfire which is not fair and we didn’t pay for it.

Sanaz Oman

Breakfast and dinner were amazing with lots of variety to choose from. The location and scenery were the best I have ever experienced in Oman.

Arkan Oman

Lovely tents we stayed in. Clean and sanitized. There was no buffet food but the staff were very professional and always helpful to get us the food till table.

Aliya Oman

The property doesn't seek to be an "Alila" yet instead exceeds expectations in being a rustic yet comfortable and pristine venue especially for the price. The staff genuinely cared for all of us and went out of their way in every aspect to make the visit memorable. They built a bonfire for us at the fire pit, provided wonderful meal service (and the meals were filling and well cooked), and accommodated several small needs on multiple occasions.

Jason Oman

Staff were great! The ambience is superb with an illuminated night sky.

Deepak Oman

It was an amazing experience away from the crowd. Would definitely stay at this resort again. Grand chalet has a back yard where you can grill and enjoy watching the Mountain View.

Khalid Oman

Quick check in, friendly staff, ice machine in the restaurant, the room had a small fridge

Richard Oman

The rooms nice and spacious, restaurant food was good and tasty, great pool, scenery was great. Shopping place and local restaurants are close by

Sabri Oman

Staff are friendly. Food is tasteful. Of natural design

Ahmed Oman

Excellent location!

Jabal Shems provides authentic accommodations in tents and bungalows to experience a traditional Bedouin camp. Both accommodations types are fitted with modern amenities and include air conditioning as well as views of the mountain.

Tents are decorated in characteristic Arabian style, while bungalows have a seating area with chairs and dining table. Both have a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries.

It is possible to enjoy traditional Omani cuisine and local specialties at the buffet restaurant. Staff can also help and advice the best hiking trails around the famous Al Ḩamra Canyon and the surrounding desert.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
