Bilad Sayt (Arabic: بلاد سيت, romanizedblād syt) is a mountain village in the wilayah of Bahla in Oman.

The village is located on the NE slope of the Al Hajar Mountains near the highest peak in the Sultanate of Oman, Jebel Shams. Bilad Sayt can be reached through Wadi Al Sahtan and Wadi Bani Awf from NE or via Al Hamra from the SW and is only accessible by 4-wheel-drive vehicles.[2][original research?] Its clustered mud-and-stone houses and terraced fields make it a tourist attraction.[3]
