Amazing place in the midst of Misfat (which is now a bit touristy) but the Misfah old house is great. Super friendly owner! Made us feel at home. The plantation walk starts right outside of the house.

Simply breathtaking view and location makes this my favourite accommodation in Oman. The morning vibes were unmatched - especially when I was having coffee on the terrace surrounded only by the view of the local nature and mountains. The rooms were simple but clean and had everything we needed for the one night we stayed in the area. It's a bit of a trek to get from your car but the hotel staff was kind enough to help us carry the bags. They also accommodated us last minute after a mishap with another hotel so overall we were super happy with the service and hospitality. Thank you!

Misfah Old House was an absolute outstanding stay on our journey through Oman. It is located perfectly in the little village, on the route of the little village circuit. We stayed a total of three nights in the Old House, and were really happy with everything. The service was friendly and really personal, as both the owners, as well as the hotel staff helped us with our daily program, and indulged us in every way (especially with wonderful fresh juices). The rooms were small, but enough since you’re out during the day, and beds were really comfy. The food was delicious (both breakfast and dinner), and especially the goat at the buffet was breathtaking (really soft and rich in flavor). Thank you again for the great stay, and the little birthday surprise you organized for us!

Nice simple accomodation, with traditional room and shared bathroom. Not too busy when stayed so had the bathroom to ourselves. Friendly welcome from the hosts and great balcony for sunset and dinner. Buffet style meals for dinner and breakfast. Good experience for one night to explore the old town and gardens.

Didn't stay the night but enjoyed very fresh fruit juices at the roof restaurant. Gorgeous veny, very quiet and laid back, tucked under the old MIsfah town above you. Shadows of palms dance over the old mud brick buildings and the ancient Iflaj water irrigation system. Well worth a visit if you are a resident in the city or a passing tourist.

It's at the top side of the beautiful village. You can get there with your regular salon. However, you will need to walk some 5 minutes to this specific motel. I rate it the best out of the rest. Clean & specious room with a beautiful balcony overlooking wide palm trees. Comfortable bed & white clean sheets. We were welcomed with coffee & dates at the reception and fruit plate in the room. Buffet needs to be improved. Decent & welcoming staff. I would go back again.

Loved our stay here. Very convenient to hike and explore the village. Food was delicious with good vegetarian options. They even loaned us a hairdryer.

Jabel Shams or the Sun Mountain is the highest mountain in GCC.You don't need 4x4 to go there, you may use simple car. The temperature is very cold especially at night. During winter there is a chance of snow. Many people are visiting Jabel Shams to camp. There are so many camping sites in Jabel shams.

I did the Via Feratta here. It was great. Had a coffee and a cookie at the café at the top which was great as well. Plenty of parking, great views. Definitely worth the trip

Highest mountain in Oman. Stunning view of mountains, labelled as the Grand Canyon of Arabia. Temperature drops at 11 at the time we went ( Feb 7th 2025) We went our entire team from Bahrain and visiting such place is first time. We left from Muscat around 3.30am and reached morning 7am. Temperature was awesome.. It’s a perfect location for all who loves adventure. It is best to go with a 4WD. The terrain is a little bit challenging. A perfect spot for camping and hiking.

We did the balcony walk W6 and spent about 6 hours return (with photo stops, lunch stop and we spent quite a bit of time at the oasis) you will need good shoes as there are lots of scrambling rocks. Lots of goats along the way! When you reach a place that seems like the end, look for the flag, it should direct you to go up the rocks a little bit to find the oasis. Lots of people turn back at just the last point. We also saw some deserted buildings there. We came in January and lots of people came early in the morning too, it’s quite cold in the morning and with the sun it’s ok. But when we came out at noon it’s still quite cloudy so it was quite cold. We came here with a normal car but a 4WD would be handy.

Amazin sunset and sunrise,really beautiful of nautre

View is awesome ... khareeb season view will be the best time to visit here

pretty scenic view, a chilly atmosphere, the climb on the mountain is pretty good, there are a plenty of resorts above to relax, will need to go through a police checkpoint just to make sure that you go with a 4WD vehicle, beautiful around the time of Monsoon it's really worth doing. We traveled 2 hours round trip and we had a blast. Not to be too dizzy but we still manage to pass each other easily. It's called the Grand Canyon of Oman and while a bit smaller

We visited Al Hoota Cave on a holiday, and it turned out to be one of the most enchanting experiences in Oman. As always, being with my dear friends made the trip even more special. The moment you step inside the cave, you feel transported into a different world — for a while, you will be in and out, wondering which part of the globe you are actually in. Once you reach the main gate, you take your tickets and wait for the small train that carries visitors to the cave entrance. That short train trip itself is a fine piece of mesmerising experience — the views and the anticipation build up the excitement before you even step inside. The guided tour takes you through millions of years of natural history, with spectacular stalactites, stalagmites, and an underground lake that is home to rare blind fish. The atmosphere inside is cool, calm, and almost magical, making it a refreshing escape from the outside heat. Outside, the museum and displays add, more insight into the geology and history of the cave. Everything is well-maintained, organized, and makes the visit smooth and informative. If you’re in or around Nizwa, this is definitely a must-visit attraction. Whether with family, colleagues, or friends, Al Hoota Cave is one of those places that leaves you amazed and makes you appreciate the hidden natural wonders of Oman.

Great place to visit if you are in the area! There is a comprehensive museum in the main building. The cave itself is around 2 minutes away from a golf cart, which is included in the price. You can walk inside the cave by yourself or with a guide, we decided to go by ourselves. Complete walk last around 30 minutes and it’s very interesting to see how nature and time are capable of building amazing things like this cave! I took one star because the cost is a bit too much in my opinion.

What an experience, well worth a detour. Wonderful nature creation. The tour through the cave was lovely, well built staircase and interesting information boards on the way. In addition to that there is an information centre and climbing wall which is charged in addition to the ticket. The only thing that could be improved is the coffee machine as the cafe did not serve latte or cappuccino 🤭

Amazing experience and absolutely breathtaking inside. We weren't prepared for the humidity inside, it was so humid we were dripping with sweat. The walk isn't fit for anyone who struggles with stairs as there are alot of them. Its also slippery so you need to wear sensible footwear. Took about an hour to walk through but well worth the time to visit. The feeling of cold air as you exit the cave was so nice!

The place is an amazing natural wonder. But the place needs more attractions (not just the cave), like a better museum, science activities for students, VR, audio guide. Also the lights in the cave needs more creativity.

Booked tickets through the online portal but never received the confirmation email. Staff at the entrance took the trouble to verify our card payment and with just a short delay we were allowed in. The troublesome train from the visitor center to the cave has now been removed altogether and replaced with a golfcart shuttle service... which worked fine. Cave itself is impressive in scale, but somewhat underwhelming in stalactite formations compared to some other caves in the region. The lighting and path are excellent however, making for a pleasant stroll through the cave.

Its so recommended place in nizwa Very relaxing place and amazing stones you will see and touch it. The experience was unforgettable Just better to ware proper clothes for hiking little bit 😁😉 we went without any tour guide because for us it's okay to go alone and enjoy the cove. And its safe because there's a lot of post guidelines inside that you can read. Love this place

A remarkable experience of walking back in time to when the Omani people used to live in the village. The house (used to belong to a Sheik) is well-preserved and maintains its charm and originality. Our guide Ridzuan, is a patient storyteller and he walked us through the museum checking into every room and floor of the house. We tasted date syrup and he served us Kalwa coffee and ginger tea. Overall a one of its kind experience and would recommend a visit for any visitor in Oman.

This place is a real hidden gem in Oman. As soon as we entered the village, the mud brick houses slow living, and date palm orchards transported us to another world. Bait Al Safah, a living museum is unlike any other. The museum is set in one of the mud brick houses, and along with the exhibits, they keep essential oils, frankincense, ouds, and other local products. As we walked through the halls and rooms, the guide didn’t just explain the museum, he shared their culture and asked about ours. Omani tea and locally grown dates were always available for visitors. They also showcase traditional craftsmanship, like pressing oil, making flatbread, and roasting and grinding coffee. It’s not just a display, you can actually enjoy the products made right there. This experience will always stay with me. The hospitality of the locals was the cherry on top. Don't miss this place if you're nearby... The only thing I recommend to reserve in advance is dining with a local family. For the rest of the experience you don't need to wait

Excellent place to visit in town. You can experience how the typical Omani home looks like and hear some stories about the culture. Also you can tase a fresh Omani cafe and see how it is made.

We loved the guided tour at Bait Al Safah! It was rich in culture and history, with authentic demonstrations of traditional Omani life inside a beautifully preserved heritage house. The experience is immersive from start to finish—you learn, participate, and truly feel transported in time. Absolutely worth it. Don’t skip it—it’s incredible!

We really enjoyed our visit to Bait Al Safah Museum! The guides were super friendly and knew so much about Omani culture. It’s a very interactive place and great for all ages. We loved tasting the date syrup, trying on the traditional clothes, and seeing how to bake the typical bread – such a fun and authentic experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Very nice museum with a super friendly guide. Also the woman who show you how different things are made by hand make the place so special.

Visit this museum if you have the chance! Here you have a great opportunity to learn more about Omani culture, how they lived in the past and how they live today. There was an entry fee of 3 OMR (January 2025).

Snake Canyon tour is once in a lifetime experience that you must take when you are in Oman. Our guide Yahya was superb. And we had amazing day. Highly recommended.

A bicycle tour in Al Hamra with our gids Yaya was one of our best moments in Oman.

Nice experience,,,

We booked three tours in Jebel Al Akhdar, Al Hamra, and Misfat Al Abriyeen through an agency, and it was an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly attentive and genuinely local. He was very patient and really listened to our needs, making sure we had the best possible experience. The first tour took us to Jebel Al Akhdar, where he guided us through stunning landscapes and shared his deep knowledge of the area. Then, in Al Hamra, he tailored the tour to our preferences, suggesting a mix of easy and more challenging hikes, including a canyon visit. The next morning, we did the cultural tour of Misfat Al Abriyeen, and it was fantastic. Being from the village himself, our guide had true passion for sharing its history and traditions. He also offers fair, market-rate prices, making the experience both authentic and well worth it. He knows the region very well, so don’t hesitate to reach out to him by email—he’ll take the time to discuss your needs and suggest the best ways to organize your trip. Whether you need help planning activities or renting something, he’s a great point of contact. He is very clear, precise, and honest about what he offers, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
