Teepee Camps Jabal Shams is in Jabal Shams, Al Hamra — about 3 hours from Muscat and 1 hour from Nizwa. Full directions are sent with your booking confirmation.
A 4×4 is recommended for a comfortable drive, because the last 7 km of road is unpaved.
Yes. Private round-trip transfers in a 4×4 can be added when you book — from Muscat or from Al Hamra (Shell station).
Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is until 11:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible depending on availability.
Because of the remote mountain location there is no WiFi. Mobile network coverage is strong in most areas — and the view is a very good reason to put the phone down.
Meals are not included by default, but Omani lunch, Omani dinner and BBQ boxes can be added during booking.
Guests share an outdoor kitchen, a dining area, fire pit seating and mountain viewpoints. The canvas tents share a bathroom; the glass dome has its own.
Children are very welcome. Because the camp sits on a cliff edge, they must be supervised by an adult at all times.
From December to February nights can drop near or below freezing. Tents have portable heaters and the dome is air-conditioned, but warm layers are a good idea.
Pets are not permitted at the camp.
Free cancellation up to 7 days before check-in. Between 7 days and 72 hours before arrival, 50% is refunded. Within 72 hours a refund may not be possible. See the full cancellation policy for details.
