Your Dream Holiday
Salalah offers an authentic taste of Arabia, its traditional lifestyle and values expressed in the glowing architecture, aromatic food and the scent of frankincense and sandalwood. The rugged beauty of its fertile plains, its fresh water springs, its bustling souks and tropical landscape leave a lasting impression on the visitors mind. Known as the “perfume capital of Arabia”, thanks to its frankincense-producing trees, the city souks sell plenty of this exotic and fragrant incense. In earlier times, frankincense was valued even more than gold. The city is a popular destination to tourist who are attracted by its incredibly pleasant weather. Visitors from across the Persian Gulf flock to Salalah to avoid the harsh heat of the region nearly doubling the town’s population during the monsoon season. The city is filled with an air of festivity created by numerous fairs and celebrations held during what is known as the Khareef Festival. The climate also supports wildlife more commonly associated with East Africa, such as the leopard and hyena. A wonderful mix of pleasure, enjoyment and informality in one of the most beautiful destinations of Oman
