Description
We live where others come for holiday - in nature in a resort. Please check the location of Jebel Sifah. We are not in a bustling city. We do expect someone to come at least for one week and share one of our languages.
Being elderly, we need 2 hours help in the morning and 1 in the evening. , We are both hard working! We do not pamper volunteers to have a holiday here.
going out with the boat, excursions and hikes or visiting friends and local Omanis does not count as work.
Gardening knowlegde and an understanding of sustainability from the volunteer is appreciated.
if you can adapt to the above you can expect an interesting stay in the international environment of Jebel Sifah.

We highly recommend Constantin to other hosts!
being so young he lacked some skills and language, but everyone starts somewhere.
he is a good tennis player and a friend family enjoyed playing with him.
It is a bit sad that he found it difficult to give us a clear idea how long he would stay.

She is very pleasant, well-mannered and helpful.
I can highly recommend her to other hosts.
Here in Oman, she did so much for me: planting new vegetables - most of which even survive the harsh sun and irregular watering in my absence.
We cooked together and she taughed me a new form of Qigong.… read more
