Salalah Favorite Tips by iwys Top 5 Page for this destination

Plantations

Favorite thing: The lush plantations of coconut palms, bananas and papayas give Salalah's coastal strip a tropical appearance, which sets it apart from the rest of the Middle East. This is definitely one of my favourite things about the place.

Fruit Stalls

Favorite thing: Salalah's fruit stalls are famous in Oman. They line the roadsides in the coastal strip, especially Sultan Qaboos Street in the Dahariz district. They sell the produce of the plantations, i.e. coconuts, bananas and papayas. The stallholders will cut open coconuts so you can drink the fresh juice with a straw.

The fruit is very cheap, for example, a kilo of bananas costs from OR 0.2 to OR 0.3.
