Operated by Secret Arabia · Salalah, Dhofar
You pull away from Salalah as the coastline unfurls, the surf tracing the shore like a steady hand. The road climbs gently into the Al-Qarā Mountains, where scrub and frankincense trees lean into the wind and the air tastes faintly resinous. By the time you reach Mirbat the town’s low stone houses and the harbor’s boats have a lived-in calm that contrasts with the raw, archaeological edge of Khor Rori.
