Natural Crafts Salalah

To reach Ain Razat, take the direction of Mirbat then, shortly after Salalah, the spring is indicated 8 km on the left. We arrive at the foot of the Jebel Al-Qara; many springs flow along the wall to end up in the same basin, itself connected to a falaj system in charge of irrigating the region. A park, open only at weekends, has been set up at this point. The springs of Hamran are located a little further on. First take the road to Mirbat and then follow the road that goes to the left towards Ain Hamran until a dead end.

To get there, take the Atin Road (the one that also leads to Job's tomb), in the direction of the village of Atin for about fifteen kilometers from the city center, then you reach a dead end. The area around the spring has been landscaped with picnic and rest areas, benches, steps to access the water... The site is especially interesting in summer when the spring, fed by regular rains, forms a superb waterfall. The water is then centralized in aflaj which supply the nearby village.

This wild lagoon is part of a group of seven others, all located in Dhofar, protected and classified as reserves. The one of ad Dahariz has the particularity to cut the long coastal road which traces on about thirty kilometers between Salalah and Taqah. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it materializes in a way the eastern border of the metropolis. The density of its vegetation provides a providential habitat for hundreds of birds, including many migratory species that can be observed from shelters designed for ornithology

White sand and coconut trees, that's what the beaches of Salalah look like in two words. A ribbon of fine sand winds along the coast for at least 30 km between the industrial port in the west and Taqah in the east. Without going too far from the center, shortly after the section occupied by the large hotels, one reaches the public beach of Dahariz. The first part of the beach is lined with cafes and restaurants, a promenade and shaded gazebos equipped with BBQs. It becomes wilder after the Khawr ad Dahariz lagoon, which forces you to leave the coastal road for a few kilometers.
