2 Best Hotels in Oman

Name: Misfah Old House
Address: Ad Dakhiliyah, Oman
Telephone: 9280–0120
Price range: $$

Muscat has a variety of world-class luxury accommodations as well as mid-range local and international chains. Other popular tourist destinations, including the mountains of Jabal Akhdar and the southern city of Salalah, also have a few high-end options. Reasonably priced hotels that are low- or no-frills (but still clean and comfortable) are available throughout the country. In the deserts of Sharqiyah, guests can find a range of camping options as well, from the luxurious to the rustic. Camping with your own tent and gear is allowed anywhere in the country and is a popular option for ecotourists who venture away from the cities into the deserts, mountains, and remote beaches.

Misfah Old House

$$ | Oman

Owner Ahmed Al Abri has turned 11 rooms of his restored historic home in the ancient village of Misfat Al Abryeen into basic, no-frills guest rooms. Rates vary by season but always include local Omani meals prepared by the village women who live next door. It's a rustic, unique experience about an hour from Nizwa.

Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve Eco-Tents

$$$ | Rte. 23, Oman

An hour south of Sur in Ras Al Jinz, the turtle reserve offers 31 eco-friendly guest accommodations directly on the beach. The rooms and tents include breakfast, beach access, and turtle-watching excursions. The small café in the visitor center offers light dining options throughout the day, which is a good thing as there are no other restaurants or facilities in the area. The prices for the accommodations are high for what you get, but for those with a keen interest in the preservation efforts of the great sea turtles, they offer a unique experience.
