Authentic rustic Omani guesthouse in a 500-year-old village
The Suwgra (also known as The Cliff Guest House) is a simple and authentic Omani guesthouse located high in the Jabal Akhdar near the semi-ruined five-hundred-year-old village of the same name.
This remote and rustic stone-built property is over 500 years old and is accessed following a fifteen-minute walk from the car park that takes you along a narrow path into the wadi and then up the other side. Luggage is transferred by a pulley system across the valley.
Surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, The Suwgra has six rooms and is an ideal base in the Jabal Akhdar if you want to escape from international-style hotels and experience the age-old traditional Omani village life. The atmospheric rooms and suites are simple and located in restored buildings that cascade down the mountainside and are linked by steep, narrow walkways. Each room has a unique layout and comes with a low bed, arched alcoves in the walls, electricity, and a terrace with panoramic views. Most rooms have an ensuite bathroom. It must be noted that the rooms are not air-conditioned or heated. Extra blankets are available in winter if required.
The Suwgra is offered on a half-board basis. A range of hiking excursions that explore the surrounding area can be booked locally.
