Breathtaking location. Great staff! Nice rooms! Lovely pool and restaurant. But the best are the location and the views. Be prepared: you need a 4WD to get to the property, they also pick you from Al Hamra though against a high fee. Try to be there before sunset and get up for the sunrise, it’s worth it!

Paradise on the hill!
Loved our trip to The View! The pods are so unique, lots of privacy and a great view from every unit! The road wasn't as bad as I thought at all, so had no trouble in our AWD Kia Sportage. The pool was beautiful, and staff so friendly.
