Full day East and West (Al Mughsail, Salalah, Taqah)

0 Review

Begin the day by paying a visit to the magnificent Sultan Grand Mosque, which features exquisite artwork and stained tiles. We can visit the mosque every day in the morning (08:30 - 11:00), except Friday, and we recommend that you bring a headscarf or a similar hijab for ladies and dress modestly. Shorts and sleeveless tops are not permitted. Following that, we'll go to Al Baleed, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Museum of the Frankincense Land. It displays the region's historical and archaeological heritage, as well as its exceptional maritime tradition. The Al Baleed site is open from 08:30 to 20:00 on Sundays through Thursdays, and from 15:00 to 20:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Following that, we will travel to Taqah, a coastal town in Dhofar Governorate. Taqah is an old town and fishing village with an interesting castle. The castle is surrounded by watchtowers and stone houses. The room inside the castle is filled with ancient pieces of jewelry, weapons, furniture, paintings, and everyday items that make the castle inhabitable. Continue to Khor Rori creek, the site of the ruined city Sumhuram and the capital of ancient Arabia's frankincense trade. Sumhuram Museum / Archaeological Park is one of the components of the Land of Frankincense designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated in the ancient city of Khor Rori, where the frankincense and copper trade flourished. And after we visit the historical sites, we will travel to Al Mughsail Beach, which is known for its blowholes. Al Mughsail Beach is a must-see in the Dhofar Region. Seawater rushes with high pressure through an underground channel and shoots out in a geyser-like eruption on the cliff. The spout can reach heights of several meters in response to the forces of the waves. End of the trip.
