Attractions of hotels in salalah
The best place in Oman to buy Frankincense is Haffa (Al Husn) Souq where you can chat with traders speaking one of the ancient languages that are spoken domestically here instead of Arabic.
Out of town there are the UNESCO World Heritage sites associated with the Frankincense trade. Perhaps the most attractive is that of Sumharam set in the picturesque Khor Rori a creek opening out into the sea hotels in salalah
Job’s Tomb (an-Nabi Ayyub) makes a very popular excursion from Salalah. The drive itself affords great views of the area, while the mausoleum can be visited (and photos taken) by all-comers. Just remember to take your shoes off first!
The Mughsail (or Mughsayl) Blowholes are a local attraction. In certain weather conditions, the inflow from the sea will result in waterspouts being forced through porous rock. Even when this is not happening, the eerie sound is rather impressive.
Khor Ruwi is an archaeological dig near Salalah. For a small fee (roughly OR2), visitors can walk around the edge of the dig. Don’t expect any explanation for what has been found, though.
The small fishing communities of Taqah and Mirbat (or Mirbaat) are quite pleasant to wander around. Taqah has what is described as a “Castle” but is in fact a fort, which is not open to the public at the present time.

Mughsayl Beach

Prophet’s Emran’s Tomb
Located near the Clock Tower. The tomb of Prophet Emran is an extraordinary site to visit. It is around 30 meters long. Prophet Emran was the father of Moses, a famous biblical prophet.
Frankincense trail
The Frankincense trail are excavation sites protected by UNESCO and marked as under the World Heritage Sites. The Frankincense trail can be visited at Al Balid – downtown Salalah, at Khor Rohri, 37 kilometers from Salalah and Ubar at Shisr – believed to be the site of the Lost City, the Atlantis of Arabia discovered by the famous explorer, Wilfred Thesiger
The Magic Road
Believe it or not This road is a dirt track that lies on to your left when you hit the road from Taqha to Mirbat. The road leads to a short drive down a hill on an elevated dirt-trail. When you reach the base of the trail, you have to switch off your engine and put the gear into “neutral”. Keep your foot on the brake lightly to “regulate” your speed when the anti-gravity thingy kicks in..!!!! Here’s what happens: your vehicle instead of rolling down the slope begins to roll back UP hill.
