    We had such a lovely stay. The accommodation was a little more expensive than our usual budget but 100% worth it. The location is ideal for the Balcony walk, you have the whole space to yourself so it's completely private, experiencing sunrise...

    The dome location is the most beautiful spot to stay in the area. It was so private and you have the stars at night and the sunrise in the morning, above the gorge. You’re so close to the walking track, but have even better views. The room was...

    luogo incredibile e meraviglioso, la miglior vista sulle montagne di tutta la zona. tenda isolata per cui è garantita la massima privacy e il silenzio.

    Uno dei posti più belli in cui abbia mai dormito. Posizione impareggiabile. I proprietari della struttura (due fratelli gentilissimi ed accoglienti) meritano davvero un plauso.

Perched atop Oman’s highest peak, Jabal Shams, this secluded geodesic dome offers a unique escape for two. Enjoy rare panoramic views of the Grand Canyon and the W6 Trail (Balcony Walk) just 100m away, plus distant vistas of Al Hamra city. The climate-controlled dome includes a private bathroom with shower, outdoor seating for stargazing/sunsets, and optional local cuisine (breakfast/dinner). Hike the iconic trail, unwind in total privacy, or soak in ever-changing canyon colors from your secluded retreat. Private parking and a quiet, isolated setting ensure peace. Perfect for adventurers, couples, or stargazers seeking a serene mountain hideaway.
A warm, polite, and passionate adventurer, Saeed has spent years exploring Jabal Shams’ rugged terrain as a certified hiking guide. Fluent in Arabic and English, he loves connecting with travelers from around the world, sharing his deep knowledge of Oman’s mountains, culture, and hidden gems. Whether arranging guided tours of the W6 Trail, offering shuttle services (pickup/drop-off), or recommending the best sunrise viewpoints, Saeed ensures every guest feels welcome and inspired. His honest, friendly nature and firsthand expertise make him not just a host, but a storyteller dedicated to revealing the beauty of Jabal Shams. Beyond logistics, Saeed thrives on cultural exchange—ask him about local traditions, stargazing tips, or the secrets of the canyon. For him, hosting is about creating unforgettable moments where adventure meets Omani hospitality.
The dome sits in the heart of Oman’s most dramatic landscapes. Just steps away lies the W6 Trail (Balcony Walk), a thrilling cliffside hike along the rim of Jabal Shams Grand Canyon—a 1,000-meter-deep marvel nicknamed “Oman’s Grand Canyon.” Nearby, the ancient village of Al Hamra enchants with 400-year-old mudbrick homes, while Misfat al Abriyeen offers palm-filled terraces and traditional Omani farming life. Adventurers can tackle trails like W4 (rocky ascents) or W7 (hidden pools), while culture lovers visit Bahla Fort, a UNESCO site 45 minutes away. At night, the canyon becomes a stargazing paradise, with skies untouched by city lights. Saeed, your host, can guide you to secret viewpoints, seasonal waterfalls, or sunset spots where the canyon glows fiery red.
