    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.
