What travellers are saying
- WettiVienna, Austria53 contributionsVery scenic beach, worth the long drive from Salalah! It's also worth continuing to drive a bit along the coastal road for the view.Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alice DMuscat, Oman16 contributionsWhat a place...the road there is a bit difficult, 4x4 better but I have seen sedans going on it.
We went there in February which is off season in Salalah but the weather was perfect 28-30 C, water perfect, clean, very few people. First day was no one, second time we went there were a couple of cars.
The rocks give the landscape a very photographical feeling, coupled with the colour of the water...paradise.Written 23 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Nita MLouth, UK3 contributionsLovely mosque, good decoration, everything a mosque should be .

- WettiVienna, Austria53 contributionsNice little museum, covering the history of Oman. Excarvations next to the museum are ok (if you are interested in history), but not extremely special.Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Soumya NayakDubai, United Arab Emirates579 contributionsThis is one of the main attractions near Salalah. The beach has stunning views & good photo spots. The blowhole is something different & would excite the kids. This place doesn't have enough shade, so longer stay during day time isn't possible. Visit in the evenings after 4;00 pm would be much cooler. There is also a little restaurant with toilets.Written 2 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alice DMuscat, Oman16 contributionsI wanted very much to see anything pre-islamic to have an idea of what was here in the remote past.
I really liked the site.
The location is beautiful, we drove around the shore a bit, saw the old boat replica the we visited the actual site which was suffering some renovations in Feb 2022 but in a discreet way.
There is information in Arabic and English and you can have a nice experience walking around the old city imagining how the houses and shops were looking in ancient times.Written 23 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Soumya NayakDubai, United Arab Emirates579 contributionsNothing can beat Dubai when it comes to the size, grandeur, international brands, variety of products & anything else you can think of regarding a "Mall". So, our visit to this mall was just to explore how big is the biggest mall in Salalah. It's one-third the size of Mall of the Emirates. Our visit was in the afternoon on a weekday, so very less people. 50% of the outlets are either restaurants, ice cream shops or cafes. The other half were the usual product stores, mostly local brands I guess as I haven't heard those names in Dubai. There is also a Carrefour for grocery shopping.
The mall is neat & clean with an outdoor amphitheatre style seating & fountain area. There is ample parking space outside the mall. There is also a Gardens Hotel next door. Nothing great about the mall.Written 3 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Jörg FischerBerlin, Germany366 contributionsIt is a nice little castle, sitting on a little hill. After climbing some stairs you will earn a nice view on Taqah and the environment. It is good to visit.

- cutelady BaluchMuscat Governorate, Oman1Â 637 contributionsWhile visiting the thumb of prophet Ayoub it was closed due to covid 19 disease.
The place around it full greenery and beautiful in kharif.Written 10 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Reza SattarzadehMuscat, Oman2Â 125 contributionsThis place is really interesting and quite strange in Salalah. The location is marked and once you reach there, you put your car in neutral gear and see how the gravity works. It is definitely a great experience for people from different ages. The place can easily be accessed from Salalah.Written 8 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- WettiVienna, Austria53 contributionsNice waterslide park - some of the waterslides are quite spectacular and overall it's great fun. The lifeguards are friendly, but sometimes a bit over-protective. Not a lot of shade at midday.Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- gwyn r22 contributionsWe arrived in the evening and walked through the excavations as the daylight faded and the flood lights switched on. Due to the fading light, we didn't get to the beach but appreciated the buildings that have so far been uncovered.Written 21 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Modher Fawzi A5 contributionsIts realy huge cave , somthing that you should consider while visiting sallalah , also the road till there , it incarableWritten 4 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Reza SattarzadehMuscat, Oman2Â 125 contributionsJabal Samhan is arguably one of the locations not to miss when you are in Dhofar. Located at around 50km from Salalah, it is the highest peak in the Governerate. As you drove to the point, you feel like that little by little, you are moving above the clouds, and once you are there, the view is truly incredible. You can begin going through the tracks to explore much further in the mountain, though it is recommended that you go in a group, have enough provisions and where sturdy shoes.Written 8 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Thomas O58 contributionsWe took a daytrip to the Empty Quarter and stopped in our way back to Salalah in Ubar and Wadi Dawkah. Ubar is nice place to visit and to learn about the Frankincense trail. Wadi Dawkah is very beautiful at the non touristic place. The touristic place looks artificial.Written 22 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
