Destinations » Mediterranean » Suez Canal » Salalah


Salalah is the capital of Dhofar Province, which is the southern region of the Sultanate of Oman. Green areas scattered across town give the city a tropical atmosphere and have earned it the name "Garden City." It is a laid-back place with a few resort hotels dotting the sandy seashore.

Attractions

Along the coast lie miles of deserted beaches, bordered by a brilliant blue sea. Other attractions around the countryside include ancient forts, archaeological sites, fishing villages and the tombs of prophets. But it is mainly the rugged landscape and the beaches that appeal to visitors with a penchant for unspoiled destinations. Indeed, Salalah has to be appreciated as an off-the-beaten-track location and for the uniqueness that marks the Dhofar region.

Shopping

The most popular item is frankincense. Together with a frankincense burner, made of plain clay or decorated in attractive colors, it is a nice souvenir item. More extensive shopping opportunities are offered in the souq at Muscat. Most shops and souqs are closed between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Currency

The local currency is the Omani rial.
