Overview
Do you want to discover the landmarks of Salalah and the natural wonders of the countryside in one trip on your stop with a cruise or when you have limited time? Then Takamul Travel has the right trip for you. Start with the visit to Salalah´s landmarks the Great Mosque and Palace al-Husn. You will also explore the traditional al-Haffa market – the best place to buy frankincense, perfumes, and shawls. Then enjoy coconut drink in Salalah´s plantations and inspect the irrigation systems. Leave the city to discover the Jarzeez spring surrounded by rock formations and caves. Next, drive up to the Ittine heights for panoramic views of Salalah and Jarzeez valley. After the descent from the mountains, you reach the spectacular Mughsail Beach. On its one end lies a serene lagoon frequented by flamingos. On the other, the cliffs of Qamar mountains loom out on the horizon. Under the imposing Marneef cave you will have the opportunity to wonder at water fountains gushing from the blowholes in the cliffs.
