B&Bs in Ḩijār

This is one of the world's most remarkable properties. A number of years ago, the Omani government for the first time built road to the remote 500-year-old village of the Suwgra on Jabar Al Akhdar, relocating the village to the other side of a ravine. The villagers decided to save the heritage of their village, by converting it into visitor accomodation. You reach it by walking the final 500 meters or so through the ravine, while your luggage is winched across by a pulley. Once there, everything has been done to a very high standard. There are only eleven units, clinging to the side of a cliff on the mountaintop. Accomodation is simple, but beautifully so. Everything is done with evident pride. You are not simply a guest in the Suwgra; you are sharing a heritage of which its stewards are justly proud. At night, the valley is utterly silent, apart from the occasional barking of mountain foxes or wild donkeys. In the day time, there is a marvellous trek around the side of the mountain, with good way-markers. This is not just accomodation: it is a life experience.
