Today you will arrive at the Salalah international airport by the flight booked by your self. Our representative will pick you up and drop to you at your accommodation.

Begin the day by paying a visit to the magnificent Sultan Grand Mosque, which features exquisite artwork
and stained tiles. We can visit the mosque every day in the morning (08:30 - 11:00), except Friday, and we
recommend that you bring a headscarf or the equivalent of a hijab for ladies and dress modestly. Shorts
and sleeveless tops are not permitted.

The next stop will be in the garden farms with the plantations of coconut, banana, papaya, and vegetables. After, we will visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Al Baleed and the Museum of the Frankincense Land. It exhibits the historical and archaeological heritage
also the exceptional maritime tradition of the region. Al Baleed site opens Sun - Thu 08:30 to 20:00 and Fri
- Sat 15:00 to 20:00.

After visiting the historical site, we proceed to the Al Haffa Souq (shops are closed
from 13:00 to 16:30) and photo stop at Al Husn Palace. Al Haffa Souq is the best place to buy the best
kinds of Frankincense gum and incense. The garden farms with coconut, banana, papaya, and vegetable
plantations will be the next stop. Following that, we'll go to Al Baleed, a UNESCO World Heritage site,
and the Museum of the Frankincense Land. It displays the region's historical and archaeological heritage,
as well as its exceptional maritime tradition. The Al Baleed site is open from 08:30 to 20:00 on Sundays
through Thursdays, and from 15:00 to 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.

Following our visit to the historical site, we proceed to the Al Haffa Souq (shops are closed from 13:00 to 16:30) and a photo stop at Al Husn
Palace. The best place to buy Frankincense gum and incense is at Al Haffa Souq. The Souq also sells a
wide range of products such as gold and silver jewelry, textiles, clothing, and other traditional artifacts.

The world record for the longest grave is held by the Nabi Imran Tomb. It is the final resting place of another
prominent Islamic prophet, Prophet Imran (PBUH). The burial is 41 feet long, and its enigmatic length
continues to captivate devotees and tourists alike. A small mosque, complete with a well-kept garden, has
also been built nearby, adding to the spirituality and pleasantness of the setting. We'll visit As-Salam Street
(Gold Souq) and have some free time in Salalah Gardens Mall. End of the trip.

Pick up will be at 8.30 am after having breakfast. Then drive towards the east of Dhofar to Ain Razat, a collection of natural springs, some of which are perennial, while others are seasonal and only appear during Khareef (monsoon season). This location is also popular
all year round and serves as one of Salalah's primary water sources.

Following that, we will travel to Taqah, a coastal town in Dhofar Governorate. Taqah is an old town and fishing village with an interesting castle.
The castle is surrounded by watchtowers and stone houses. The room inside the castle is filled with ancient
pieces of jewelry, weapons, furniture, paintings, and everyday items that make the castle inhabitable. After
stopping at Taqah, we will drive to the most unexpected location in Dhofar, Wadi Darbat. It is hidden in
the mountains overlooking Khor Rori, just after the Taqah coast. The Wadi is a natural park with
breathtaking views of waterfalls, a large number of camels, lakes, mountains, caves, and lush green
vegetation. During the Khareef season (monsoon), water from the mountains replenished the Wadi,
creating magnificent waterfalls gushing from 30 meters (100 ft.) and cave chambers. Visitors can also enjoy
a large picnic area.

Continue your exploration of the Tawi Ateer, also known as the "Birds Well" and one of the most famous and dramatic sinkholes in the Salalah Mountains' porous limestone. You can descend a rocky path to the bottom with the help of a local guide. Visitors can visit the Teeq Sinkhole/ Cave about 14 km from Tawi Ateer. The depth of this massive cavity is 211 meters (692 ft) and its plunges range from 130 meters (427 ft.) to 150 m (492 ft). Continue to one of the major mountain ranges of Jebel Samhan, a breathtaking plateau with the highest peak of around 2100 meters and an area of 4500 sq. km (1700 sq.
mi).

On the way, stop for a photo in a Babul tree (Baobab) and drive to Salalah Anti-Gravity Point to see
their cars climbing the hill in Neutral gear (without any acceleration). This is an incredible experience and
a one-of-a-kind trip because the car can travel at speeds ranging from 40 to 60 km/hr. without requiring
any acceleration. End of the trip. (This tour involves walking over uneven and slanted terrain, please wear
comfortable steady, or walking shoes.)

Today the same pick up will be at 8.30 am . The first place to go is Ain Garziz, which was one of the springs in the Dhofar region. Drive to the mountains
next to see Nabi Ayoub (Prophet Jobs Tomb), which can be seen from a high point in the Jebel (mountain). Because of its historical significance, this location is also one of the most visited in Salalah. He is referred to as Nabi Ayoub in the Quran and Prophet Job in the Bible.

Then we will go for a photo stop at the viewpoint near the Nabi Ayoub location where they can see beautiful landscapes and mountains.
Following our visit to the historical site, we will travel to Al Mughsail Beach, which is known for its blowholes. Al Mughsail Beach is a must-see in the Dhofar Region. Seawater rushes with high pressure through an underground channel and shoots out in a geyser-like eruption on the cliff. The spout can reach
heights of several meters in response to the forces of the waves. We'll make a photo stop at Mughsail Lagoon, which is home to migratory birds. (Please bring your towels and change of clothes if you plan on swimming on the beach.)

The sights are magnificent due to the heights involved on the Zigzag Road, which is around 10 to 15 km. The stark shape of the leafless Frankincense Tree adorns the countryside as you reroute. Dhofar's frankincense is regarded as the best in the world.

After that, drive to Fizaya Beach, which has pristine turquoise waters in the Indian Ocean, along the hairpin bend road near Oman's western border. Spend
some time relaxing and taking in the scenery. (The current is very strong, and the coast is rocky, therefore swimming is not recommended). End of the trip. (This tour involves walking over uneven and slanted terrain, please wear comfortable steady, or walking shoes.)

Today will be the last day of your stay in Dhofar governorate. Our driver will come to pick you and drop you at the airport.

Have a nice flight back to your home.!!
