Your destinations —
Salalah
A tropical gem in the heart of Arabia, Salalah is Oman’s lush secret, a seaside city where frankincense winds meet monsoon mists and ancient history whispers through the palms. Located on the southern coast, this enchanting destination feels worlds away from the arid desert landscapes usually associated with the region. With its cool Khareef season, coconut-fringed beaches, and a deep-rooted cultural heritage, Salalah invites travellers to experience Oman’s softer, greener side.
Must-sees:
- Museum of the Frankincense Land: Discover Salalah’s vital role in the ancient frankincense trade through interactive exhibits and archaeological treasures.
- Al Hosn Palace (Sultan’s Palace): Though closed to the public, the palace's regal gates and nearby coastal promenade are a must-see.
- Haffa Souq: Breathe in the scent of frankincense and browse stalls overflowing with traditional textiles, perfumes, and Omani silverware.
- Wadi Darbat: A stunning valley that comes alive during the Khareef season, complete with waterfalls, lush greenery, and roaming camels.
- Mughsail Beach & Blowholes: A dramatic stretch of coastline known for its natural blowholes and sweeping views of the Arabian Sea.
Culinary culture:
Salalah’s cuisine is a rich blend of coastal flavours and traditional Omani dishes. Sample mashuai, a grilled kingfish served with rice and lemon, or try qabuli, a spiced rice dish with tender lamb and dried fruit. Coconut water is the drink of choice, sold fresh along the roadside, and no meal is complete without halwa—a sticky, rosewater-scented sweet served with dates and kahwa (Omani coffee). Seafood is a standout, thanks to the city’s thriving fishing heritage.
Dive deeper:
Salalah is best explored slowly, allowing time to absorb its contrasts—tropical beaches set against desert backdrops, and ancient incense routes leading to misty waterfalls. Venture beyond the city to the ruins of Al-Baleed or the lost city of Ubar, steeped in legend. Visit during the Khareef to witness the desert bloom into a green haven—complete with fog-draped hills and gushing springs. For a local experience, join a frankincense harvesting tour or spend a night in a traditional Dhofari guesthouse where tales of the past echo in the breeze.
Good to know:
The best time to visit Salalah is during the Khareef season (late June to early September), when the region transforms into a verdant paradise. The local currency is the Omani rial (OMR), and Arabic is the official language, though English is commonly spoken. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas and when visiting mosques. With its tropical flair and deep heritage, Salalah offers an unexpected and unforgettable Arabian journey.
