Welcome

Two thousand metres up, the air changes and so does the pace

Sama sits in Sayq, above the terraces where roses bloom in April and pomegranates ripen in September. Mornings begin with coffee on the cliff; evenings end under a sky full of stars, ten degrees cooler than the coast.

Two things worth booking with your room

Pick them on the review step when you book. Both are confirmed by the hotel and paid with your room when you arrive.

  • APEX Zipline

    OMR 5 per rider

    310 m over the canyon at up to 60 km/h — it starts right next to the hotel.

    About the zipline
  • 4WD transfers

    OMR 20 per car

    Leave your car at the checkpoint car park; we bring you up the mountain.

    How transfers work

Prices are for hotel guests and are added to your bill at the hotel.

Getting here

About two hours from Muscat

Take the road through Nizwa and Birkat Al Mouz, then climb. The last stretch, with the canyon opening beside you, is the best part of the drive.

A 4WD is required past the checkpoint

The police checkpoint at Birkat Al Mouz does not allow two-wheel-drive cars up the mountain. Without a 4WD, park at the checkpoint and let us bring you up.

Fill up in Nizwa or Birkat Al Mouz — it is the last petrol station before the climb.

Book direct, pay when you arrive

No deposit and no card details online. Your booking is confirmed by email and WhatsApp, and you settle by cash or card at check-in.
