Country: Oman
Country: Oman
Duration: 1 days
Description
Explore the East and West coasts of Salalah on a private scenic drive. Discover ancient ruins, hidden beaches, and dramatic cliffs as you enjoy the freedom of a self-drive or guided tour.
Discover tranquility where the mountains meet the sea on a coastal drive through Salalah. Choose from a self-drive or chauffeur-guided experience in a sedan or SUV. Witness the region’s stunning contrasts: shimmering waters on one side and majestic mountains on the other.
Drive through Salalah’s coastal highways, known for their smooth, safe, and breathtaking roads. As you glide along the shoreline, the waters shift between turquoise, emerald, and deep sapphire, depending on the sun and the time of day. The coastline winds gracefully, revealing small coves, hidden beaches, and dramatic cliffs that suddenly break into panoramic views of the Arabian Sea.
On the opposite side, the mountains of Dhofar rise boldly, shaped by centuries of wind and monsoon rains. Their layered rocks, soft greenery, and misty peaks add a unique charm that sets this region apart from any other in Arabia. This rare meeting of ocean and mountain creates scenery that feels almost unreal—like driving through a painting.
Your journey can be as peaceful or as adventurous as you wish. Stop for photos, walk along secluded stretches of sand, sip coconut water by roadside stalls, or simply stay inside your vehicle and let the views unfold like a natural cinema.
Choose the eastern drive for dramatic coastal cliffs and powerful waves. Discover Taqah Beach, Khor Rori & Sumhuram, Wadi Darbat, Samhan Mountain, and roads lined with small villages, camel crossings, and traditional Dhofari life.
Opt for the western route for epic landscapes and photogenic spots. See Mughsail Beach, Marneef Cave & Blowholes, Fazayah Beach, and shedding cliffs and mountain plateaus where the road itself becomes part of the view.
