4 Green Days in Salalah

Upon arrival to Salalah, your guide picks you up at the Salalah International Airport and drives you to your hotel for check-in. Refresh and start a complete half-day tour of Salalah.

This city of southern Oman offers a different atmosphere which you can discover through this day.

First, visit the sublime Sultan Qaboos Mosque. Visitors are required to dress modestly and women must cover their hair with a scarf.

To learn more about the region's history and the importance of the Frankincense trade, visit the Museum of the Frankincense Land and the Al Baleed Archeological Museum.

Then, right inside the city, you can explore the Plantation Farms, with Banana, Papaya, and other exotic fruits.

Enjoy some fresh coconut milk before heading toward the traditional market of Al Husn, also called Haffa Souk. This is the best place to buy all kinds of Frankincense.

Go back to your hotel to relax by the beach for the end of the day.

Today is a full day to the must-sees of Salalah, from east to west! As you drive toward the east, stop by the Royal Farm and the Marmura Palace. It's not possible to visit them, but they make a nice photo-stop.

After a short drive, you arrive at Taqah and enter the historical lands of Salalah. Visit the Taqah castle and then go to Sumhuram Archeological Park.

Then, it's time for natural wonders at nearby Wadi Darbat. With its river and nice beaches, it offers a relaxing break. Continue to the coastal town of Mirbat to visit the Mausoleum of Bin Ali.

Finally, end your day with several natural splendors. First, visit Ayn Razat, probably the most impressive spring of Dhofar.

Drive for an hour more to reach the sea and enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches of Dhofar: Al Mughsail. Walk on the wild coast and by its surprising blowholes.

Finally, drive to the Zig Zag Road, an incredible road where you have the opportunity to observe several sorts of Frankincense trees. By the end of the day, go back to the hotel for a well-deserved rest.

Today, immerse yourself in the immensity of Rub al Khali. The name of this desert means the Empty Quarter, as it's one of the largest deserts in the world.

Leave Salalah in the morning and drive toward the desert. There, you find Wadi Dowkha with its Tree Farms.

Drive an hour and a half to the desert village of Shisr. Here are the ruins of the lost city of Ubar, known as the "Atlantis of the Sands". Visit the ruins before going deeper into the Empty Quarter to explore the desert.

By the end of the day, go back to Salalah.

Enjoy the morning on your own and rest at the hotel. After check-out, a private transfer brings you back to Salalah International Airport to end your trip.
