The biggest advantage is the direct access to the Balcony Walk, which is perfect. The location is very quiet and peaceful, ideal for relaxing. We also really enjoyed the good dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended

Very nice and tactful host. Minimal communication, trusting, unobtrusive. Small sleeping quarters, but great location. Large common areas (highly recommend dinner).

Excellent accommodation at a perfect spot. Nice view into the canyon from the room. Because we didn't have a 4WD we could arrange a pick-up at Al Hamra at an extra cost. A good service offered by the host, who was very friendly.

It is the starting point for some of the world-famous hiking trails, such as the W6 trail, and it overlooks the Grand Canyon, where you can enjoy breathtaking views from three distinct areas at the mountain's peak. In the summer, the village enjoys a moderate climate despite Oman's hot weather, while in the winter, the weather is cold, with the occasional snowfall."
