Salalah is the capital of Dhofar (Oman's southernmost province) and is the birthplace of Sultan Al Qaboos.
It is definitely worth making the effort to get to it's great beaches and interesting ethnic mix. |
The locals were easy to communicate with - 90% spoke English and Arabic. Salalah is like a tropical island somewhere in the South Pacific. |
Salalah is a great centrepoint to base oneself, there are lots of interesting daytrips nearby: including Job's Tomb, Mirbat's beautiful beaches, and Mughsail, famed for its blowholes and nearby groves of wild frankincense. |

It does look like a tropical island! I imagined Oman to be bare desert. | mtncorg Fri Apr 9, 2004 21:27 UTC
The perfect camel picture is pretty good indeed. Nice look at an overlooked corner of an overlooked country. | sachara Mon Aug 4, 2003 23:10 UTC
