The View Hotel

Located on the slopes of Jabal Shams mountain at an altitude of 1,400 metres, the aptly named The View Oman is tucked away in a scenic valley and offers magnificent panoramas over the surrounding countryside. Reached via an unmade winding 7.5km road, The View is wonderfully isolated, and is ideally situated whether you want to relax for a day or two or as a base from which to explore the Jabal Shams region. The View Oman has 30 comfortable valley facing rooms all of which are equipped with balconies, tea/coffee making facilities, heat/cool air-conditioner, television, and bathrooms with rain showers. Superior rooms are grouped together and have partial valley views, whereas Premier rooms are slightly larger separate units located on the rocks and have the best panoramic views. The View’s restaurant serves a mixture of Arabic and International dishes and has lovely outside terrace which is an ideal place to relax and drink in the wonderful mountain scenery in the late afternoon. Taking a dip in The View’s temperature controlled infinity-edge swimming-pool is another attractive option. In the evenings wooden campfires are lit and are the perfect place to congregate while sharing stories of the day’s adventures and the admiring the shimmering lights of distant Al Hamra village far down in the valley below. Activities available (by advance request) at The View include mountain biking and hiking in the surrounding area, cultural tours, and even a donkey safari! Please note that The View does not hold an alcohol licence.
