Cottages in Dār Sawdāʼ

Close to the trail way to Jabel Shams summit which was the main purpose of my visit. It was really clean, and enough space.

Everything was stunning! The facilities were excellent. Highly recommend stocking up on some water and snacks beforehand as there’s not a lot around. But the home was exactly like the photos and the pool is heated. The groundskeeper was very helpful as well and showed us all around the facilities.

Really Worthy Place, Clean neat my family enjoyed the place ,away from motorway silence and BBQ setup with camp fire facilities are ready available. Facility person responds and supports well, all heaters and AC are working with 3 bedrooms and 3 toilets, 2 cars can be parked inside. I will visit again soon,

Privacy, location, cleanliness. Excellent choice for those who like a quiet and calm place to relax. Perfect spot to go to the view points. Host has been extremely helpful. Would definitely return.

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.

had an amazing stay at this guest house! The place is clean, peaceful, and feels like a true home away from home. The rooms are well-maintained, the surroundings are quiet, and the overall ambiance is perfect for relaxing. Special thanks to Khamis, the owner—he’s incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything you need. His hospitality really made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, good service, and great value!

Located in perfect place , good for families, very quiet at night so perfect for relaxation.

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.

The property was spacious, very clean newly built with two bedrooms, one big drawing hall fully furnished kitchen and dining. It’s a very independent villa facility for barbecues.

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.
