Felt like a VIP in Belad Bont Resort in Salalah! This is why you should stay here when you’re in the city.
Can I just say that I definitely had one of my best middle east trips in Oman? After going on a trip to Muscat, the desert, and exploring Sur, we went straight to Salalah.
There’s so much to see in Oman that my stay in Salalah was obviously not enough. My tour was made complete with the hospitality of the Omani people and amazing customer service of Belad Bont Resort, my home for 3 days and 2 nights in Salalah. More of my stay in Belad Bont Resort is below!
Things To Do in Salalah, Oman
1. Sultan Qaboos Mosque
The second-largest mosque in Oman and this one should be seen. The Sultan Qaboos Mosque is beautiful and breathtaking to behold! The prayer hall is decorated with marble and covered with a huge Persian carpet. The mosque can be visited by non-Muslims every morning (except Fridays). Remember that appropriate clothing must be worn. Hair must be covered for ladies, no short dresses, and shoulders must also be covered. Definitely worth a visit!
2. Beach Hopping!
There are a few beaches in Salalah that you must see! If you have plenty of time, you can even spend a day at the beach for refreshments after exploring some popular attractions. Here are the beaches you should visit.

- Al Fizayah Beach – Another Caribbean feeling in the Orient. Magnificent nature and clean water that changes into blue and turquoise! To get there, you will have to drive down a cliff and find yourself in a pristine and deserted paradise. Highly recommended!
- Marneef Cave – One of the most visited tourist places in the vicinity of Salalah. The entrance to this attraction is already impressive. The cliffs and grotto are at the western end of Al Mughsail Beach.
3. Sumhuram Old City
Sumhuram Old City is manageable but definitely worth seeing. One can imagine the strategic importance in ancient times with a bit of imagination. All in all a spectacular excavation with a great view of the former port. The adjoining museum should also be visited.
4. Museum of the Frankincense Land
