WEST SALALAH TOUR
(HALF DAY)
Tour description
Start your half-day tour by driving up into the ‘Qara’ mountains.
Along the steeply ascending road, herds of camels and cattle are a common sight, providing a picture of the traditional rural beauty of Dhofar. Visit the ancient Tomb of the Prophet Job, located in the green mountains of the Salalah plain.
Continue to Mughsail Beach, where the white sand touches the deep blue ocean and, at high tide, waves crash through the titanic natural ‘Blow Holes’ at the end of the ‘Rocky Beach’ with a cave-like entrance.
You then continue along the winding road towards Oman’s western border. Admire the historic ‘Frankincense Trees’ growing in their natural habitat, deep in the valleys, dotting the barren, craggy countryside.
Take a short walk through the valleys to smell the ‘sacred frankincense’ amidst the scenic views of the region. Back to the hotel.
