Al Majd Hotel

Hajar Mountains


With powder-blue roundels and a wealth of rather quaint decoration, this hospitable if labyrinthine hotel sports an elaborate ceiling on the 5th floor and cosy rooms. Contrary to first impressions, rooms all have opening windows, but these are blanked out on the inside. All rooms have a kettle and other thoughtful details unusual in other budget hotels in Oman.
