Salalah Tours & Holidays
Salalah Small Group Tours & Tailor-Made Holidays
Salalah is the capital of Dhofar, Oman’s southernmost province, and is a vibrant, colourful place that has its roots in the profitable frankincense trade that proliferated in the region. An important port for centuries, the town has something of an East African flavour as a result of Oman’s former territories, and plantations of bananas and papayas add to this feel.
