Named after the sublime views of the Oman mountains, The View Hail al Shas is a place to marvel at. Sitting 1,400 metres above sea level, this eco-resort is only accessible by 4-wheel drive across otherworldly landscapes. Similar to the landscape on Mars, the views are breath-taking. Even from the entry level rooms, there are balconies for you to sit on watch the sun sink on the horizon each night.
