Salalah
Salalah is the capital of Dhofar, the southern region of Oman. It is a city set amongst coconut groves and banana plantations, sprawled along sandy beaches that run the length of its plain.
Salalah is the capital of Dhofar, the southern region of Oman. The lush vegetation makes Salalah seem almost tropical coupled with the summer monsoon known as the Khareef. Salalah is home to frankincense souqs, historic sites that are the gateway to the Empty Quarter and an incredible area to view humpback and blue whales.
If you want to experience the wider Oman then include Salalah and discover more of the varied history, landscapes, wildlife and culture of this fascinating country.
A little more about Salalah
Following the khareef or summer monsoon, Salalah has a greener, more lush feel than the rest of Oman, allowing tropical fruit to grow and the wadis to fill with spring water. With white-sand beaches, incredible whale watching possibilities, smaller souqs and vastly less visited sites, Salalah is a most worthwhile addition to an Omani holiday.
