Misfah Old House — Hotel in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate

Tucked away in a historic village, this place may not be a high-end luxury venue, but it offers something far more valuable—a true escape and immersive experience of old Omani village life. |I have to admit that by day, the village has a lot of tourists exploring its charm, but by late afternoon and evening , when the crowds leave, it transforms into a peaceful retreat. ||From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with Omani coffee and dates plus they assisted with our luggage. The location is few minutes walk from the car park, big heavy suit cases are not recommended- pack what you need. ||The staffs’ hospitality extended beyond just service—they were eager to share their local knowledge, recommending walks that led us to great views of the farms and the ancient falaj spring. These walks were a highlight of our stay, allowing us to fully appreciate the natural beauty surrounding the village. The staff also recommended the rooftop two cafes in the village that are close by: Rogan cafe and Bun Alhisn (located near the car park). Each has a different view. |Rogan looks out across the date farms whilst Bun AlHisn offers breathtaking views of entire village and surrounds from arguably the highest point in the village. ||The accommodation itself was simple yet charming. The thick mud walls kept the rooms warm at night (which was a surprise to us) and the beds, though placed on the floor, were incredibly comfortable. As we are a family of four we booked two rooms which had a shared bathroom and balcony. ||We fell asleep listening to the gentle sounds of the water canals situated behind the house and waking up to the sounds of the village made for a truly memorable experience. |Both dinner and breakfast were great, with a decent selection. The Omani dishes were a must-try. At breakfast the staff offered freshly made omelets. ||Our time here felt like a step back in time, away from the modern world’s distractions, yet with all the warmth and comfort one could hope for. Without a doubt, we would return—this hidden gem is worth revisiting.||Our heartfelt thanks to Haytum for all your assistance and making our experience in Oman all the more enjoyable. |We will definitely...

What can I say about this place, an amazing and mesmerizing place for the travelers who always wants to experience the local life living. This place is in mountains with good access to road and then a walk through the old village and stone laid streets in the mountains.

I reached this place at night and it was amazing experience. They will take care of all the needs and you are very comfortable living in a village for the night.

As you reach, you need to park your vehicle at grocery store parking just some 50 feet before the village and the locals still live this village and to avoid the discomfort to their life it’s suggested.

Just keep it low while walking and don’t cause disturbance to anyone.

From the moment I found out about Misfah Old House, I knew it would be a unique experience to stay in this place. My experience started from the moment I parked the car at the entrance of the village and crossed the old village on foot. It might be uncomfortable to carry your luggage, but the deeper you go into the plantations, the more you feel you enter a different world. When I reached the heritage inn after 10 minutes of walking, I felt disconnected from the outside world, relaxed, and excited to find a new lifestyle.||||In particular, I loved the geometrical mud-imprinted ornaments in my room. I would have looked at the palm trees from my balcony for hours. At the same time, I also enjoyed the darkness created by the massive wooden shutters that helped me to have a profound and restful sleep. In the morning, I sat doing nothing on the breakfast terrace for one hour. This revealed to me the hidden sounds of nature, the blessing of the shade, and the remoteness of the place. Not only that I connected to the energy of place and nature, but I also connected deep within myself. After a long and agitated travel, I admitted how much I needed a restorative place to recharge myself.||||Misfah Old House is more than a guesthouse with rooms for rent, and even more than a heritage inn. In fact, it is a place where time stops and you travel into the depth of your inner being. It is a place where you meet the secrets of the local lifestyle and immerse in the...
