Jabal Shams tour and Guest house - Our tour with Ali was such a lovely experience. The snacks provided was super delicious with amazing tea and coffee. The views was breathtaking and Ali was great at showing all the history of the Misfat Abryaeen.
The Guest house which was recommended was very clean and great location close to the goat market which was also a fun experience.
