Escape to Sama Jabal Shams Resort, a haven of tranquility nestled at the foot of the majestic South Mountain Summit (W4). Our resort is a mere stone's throw from the breathtaking Grand Canyon of the Middle East, offering unparalleled views and experiences. As you ascend to our altitude of 6890 ft, the air grows cooler and the scenery more stunning. The journey is an adventure in itself, with 14 mi of scenic graded road leading up to our property. We recommend a 4x4 or SUV vehicle for a smooth and thrilling ride. Immerse yourself in nature's splendor with our diverse hiking trails, each one revealing hidden gems like waterfalls, ancient villages, and panoramic vistas. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or connection with nature.
