Balad Sayt is a mountain village located just over 200 kilometers west of Muscat, approximately on the border between the A’Dakhiliyah and A’Batinah Governorates.
The village is an exquisite example of what ‘Old Oman’ was like – a trip here feels like a trip back in time to an era where you might never want to return from!
The village is located on the slopes of the Hajar Mountains near the highest peak in the Sultanate of Oman, Jebel Shams.
The town of Rustaq is located just less than 60 kilometres away (about an hour’s drive) from Balad Sayt, and is a good place to stock up with supplies for the day, or for a camping trip.
Due to the relatively high altitude, Balad Sayt enjoys moderate daytime temperatures – even during the peak summer months.
The village is surrounded by the awe-inspiring peaks and valleys of the Jebel Shams mountain range. A camera is essential!
Breathtaking place after a long drive on the trail worth the visit and the drive
Beautiful peaceful place
I don't know how l describe this village,thanks Audi Q7 advertising video in YouTube let me know this beautiful village. People here is warmly welcome outside visitor. It is so difficult to come here,off road and dangerous. How people live here. But this village is really amazing,must come here. I enjoy too much.
But don't come here by yourself or drive by yourself,very danger if you don't have experience. Actually even you have experience also dangerous. I suggest you take a local driver from rustaq or musanah.
