This is my 3rd visit, first on a 4WD. Easily acceable by a saloon car, although with long high gear climbs. I found lodging there makes a big difference tham just a drive up and down. Take a tent at few available resorts. Built room are available, as many prefer for safety, but it is just a hotel room. Oman... More

We stayed at the Jebel Shams resort. it is fine, depending on what you expect. Some people are disappointed with the facilities: well, it isn't a 5 start hotel. We had a "sunset room": these have en suite bathrooms and the best views. We were there on a B&B basis. I would definitely go back for the experience, the views... More

We stayed here one night and thought it was great. It was very exciting to arrive after climbing up the mountain in the dark. Very friendly staff and pretty good beds and food for the middle of nowhere. Also, it is chilly enough to wear jeans and a hooded sweatshirt, a welcome change from Dubai. It would be fun to... More

The Grand canyon at Jebel Shams is a must see for every visitor to Oman. By far the best place to stay is the "Jebel Shams Resort", the sunset chalet I stayed in was very comfortable, with enclosed shower and even a flat screen TV in the room. The room had a small terrace and fire pit at the back,... More

Jebel Shams is the best challenge Oman can offer for an Amatuer Trekker. There are some very wonderful trekking paths with some breathtaking views. The RIm Walk is especially a great experience.If you are not a walking enthusiast then this place does not offer you anything great. ( except a few views ( including the canyons). The accomodation available in... More

The jebel shams resort is a nice place to stay overnight ( delicious diner and breakfast too) and make a ca 3 hours walk in the marvellous canyon ( hike is very well marked and save) More

Don't expect too much except for the view, which is great. Skip the Arab tent option - it is an empty tent, no furniture and only shared toilets, no showers! The chalets are OK, except that many of the appliances don;t work (TV, A/C etc) and it is a bit overpriced. The included dinner and breakfast is OK. Do it... More

My stay at Jebel Shams was great. After navigating the dirt road with no signs at intersections, we made it past the "base camp" site and finally found the Jebel Shams cabins. About a dozen "tents" on concrete slabs with canvas walls/roofs and cushions/sofas inside, but no individual restroom. Stone cabins are connected, with baths with individual inside shower areas,...
