Our location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iRhyMj2bW5ha641C7.

You do not require a 4x4 to get to Bait Al Aali. Streets are narrow, but cars (until small truck size) can get through and come to Bait Al Aali. Contact us +968 9144 0286, if you experience some issues.

We have noticed that offline map apps guide you to an incorrect location (or we are not even found on offline maps). Should you not be able to find Bait Al Aali, then please use directions to Bait Al Safah. We are just down the same road to the left (at a T-junction). You might even pass us on your left before reaching Bait al Safah. We have a big green door.

Limited parking is available in front of Bait Al Aali. Due to the nature of the old village of Al Hamra, roads are narrow but big 4×4 cars will fit. Some areas might be challenging but with patience and a little practice you will master those passages and parking areas easily.

Kindly note that our guesthouse is unable to accommodate children under the age of 10. We offer extra beds at additional costs. Please contact us for bookings.

Bait al Aali is more than 200 years old and while is unique mud structure has its beauty it also has its limitations. It has uneven floors and steep stairs. Should you have mobility limitations, it might be challenging to stay with us.

Your stay includes a homemade Omani dinner. Please let us know your preferences/requirements 48 hours before your arrival. Subject to availability, we will serve non-vegetarian (meat, chicken, fish) and/or vegetarian food as a family dinner with all our guests around 7pm.

Food is being prepared by a local family in their home kitchen. We will try our best to accommodate your preferences as much as possible.

Should you be arriving later than 7pm , please inform us so we can keep you some food. Kitchen is closing at 8:30pm.

Breakfast is vegetarian (eggs, cheese, yogurt etc) and continental style.

Should you be gluten intolerant, please inform us and remind us on your day of arrival.

Breakfast is vegetarian (eggs, cheese, yogurt etc) and offers plenty of gluten-free choices but we recommend to bring your own gluten-free bread from home as it will be hard to find in the Al Hamra area.

Please note that air cross contamination with gluten can happen in the kitchens.

We are not able to offer vegan milks or vegan choices for breakfast, except the ones we are already offering.

We accept cash (OMR / EUR / USD - rates are displayed at reception area) and card payments.

Unless it is mentioned otherwise, rooms can be cancelled free of charge 48 hours prior to your arrival.

After that a payment of 50% of the total price is due to be paid.

We love animals and the environment.

We are trying as much as possible to reduce plastic waste where ever possible. We don’t offer plastic bottles and single use plastic. We repurpose plastic bags (the ones around your towels). We don’t use toiletries in plastic but soap bars and offer a shampoo/shower gel in our bathrooms.

We support local families and farmers by buying local produce.

Some of our proceeds are being used for stray animals in Al Hamra, e.g. feeding the cats, neutering and vet bills.

While we are trying as much as possible, unfortunately some of the circumstances in Oman don’t make it convenient nor possible yet.
