The Dhofar region around Salalah holds numerous attractions for the visitor and is worth taking a day or two to explore.

The mountains — home to the Jebali tribesmen with their traditional rifles and pastoral lifestyle — dominate the Dhofar hinterland. The most spectacular pass across them is the “Furious Road” which rises 400 meters in three miles through eight hairpin bends.

Heading east, you come to Khor Rawri, one of a number of creeks in the area: low salt content makes it a haven for fish and bird species and it is also an archaeological site dating to the 1st century AD.

Further along the coast you come to Mirbat, a picturesque town whose small fort looks out over the sea.
