Ar Rustaq accommodation from AU$376

We had an amazing time staying at The View. The property certainly lives up to its name, we loved watching the sun Rise and set as book ends to our adventures in the area whilst using the property as an extremely comfortable base camp! Hospitality was first rate with all staff being very helpful and working to ensure we had a great time.

Suresh and his team are highly attentive at this very special property, nestled amongst date palm plantations, far from the modern world. A truly unique stay in a wonderful village.

A tiny hotel next to the Balcony Walk, with an absolutely wonderful staff. The room itself was nice even if a bit basic (it did have, however, flushing toilet, a hot shower, and AC). The hotel provided a dinner and a breakfast, which were delicious and abundant. The location couldn’t be better. The sunrise view is hands down something to be remembered for life. We noticed a few downsides - no dealbreakers and no major issues, but something to keep in mind. Firstly, if you’re afraid of spiders or ants, this is not a good place. None of the windows/doors was properly sealed, so some of the “wildlife” will get in. Secondly, no wifi. Again, not a problem in a mountain spot. But sth to keep in mind. Thirdly, the door couldn’t be locked from inside. Given that animals around roam freely, we propped it just to make sure a random orix didn’t enter at night. And lastly, for the love of all that is holy, get a 4x4 car to get here. The road is unforgiving. Not the hotel’s fault, but again sth to keep in mind.
