An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

The camp can be reached easily by 2WD and sits right at the end and with expansive views of the desert. A private pool was a nice touch to soak in the afternoon sun. Many activities can also be arranged easily and meals can be ordered and they come in very large portions!

Our stay at the Koofan heritage hotel was a memorable journey through time. It allowed us to appreciate the architectural beauty of the past while enjoying the comforts of the present.
If you're seeking a unique and immersive stay that combines history, culture, and comfort, a heritage hotel is an excellent choice. It's an opportunity to step back in time and create lasting memories.
Special thanks to manager Rahman, who was very polite, helpful and caring!
Highly recommend this place for a stay!

Guest review
New modern and clean hotel near the Bimmah sink hole. Its 15min drive from Wadi Shab and 50 min from Sur. Great staff and service. You can pay by card even if the details said cash only. Parking is always available. Clean rooms and great swimming facilities. Loved the swimming pool and hot tub. Restaurant had amazing and delicious food! Chef Hamdi and Khaled took all our requests with care 😊. The place deserves a 4 stars rating rather than 3. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back!

This place is so beautiful. The garden created such relaxing atmosphere. The playground was the highlight for our kids.
The bed was comfortable and we got an additional mattress too. The staff was really helpful.
There was quite a space in the back yard to hang our laundry.
We drove to the nearby sand dune in the evening. The view was fantastic and there was enough sand for the kids.

Guest review
Up there with one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had.
The hotel itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds featuring gardens, several pools, sports facilities and plenty of relaxing areas. The gym is phenomenal and I only wish I had brought my workout gear.
What truly set this stay apart was the staff. We were celebrating a special occasion and the room was beautifully decorated with balloons, rose petals and a delicious chocolate cake waiting for us.
A special mention to Sanjay who checked us in so warmly at reception and to Kay and Reham who looked after us so well during dinner. Also a big thank you to Joven and Jamira for their kindness. And to Nancy also!
The amazing staff alone would make us want to return to Muscat just to stay at this hotel again.
