The View, Oman

The View is located in the rugged, mountainous region of Oman, 1,400m above sea level and reached by scenic winding roads. The View is an ’Eco Luxe’ retreat, but an experience where nature and spectacular views are the order of the day.

Just two-and-a-half hours drive from Muscat and 45 minutes from the old capital and birthplace of Islam in Oman, Nizwa, 15 exclusive luxury tents await the traveller for a truly relaxed and comfortable stay. Seven of these tents have a terrace which overlooks the valley and the others overlook the courtyard and are all designed with high quality cotton fabric and are waterproof.

Aside from relaxing and soaking up the views, activities include mountain biking, trekking, donkey safaris, tours to natural & cultural sites and excursions towards the peak of Jabal Shams Mountains, Oman’s answer to the Grand Canyon.

We like: The large number of historical sites close to the hotel.

Best for: Exploring the rugged interior of Oman and enjoying breathtaking views from the comfort of your room.
