Souq Al Hafah is the oldest market in all of Dhofar, known historically as Souq Al Harjaa, and sits about three kilometres from central Salalah among coconut palms along the coast. The famed traveller Ibn Battuta is said to have visited, along with the geographer Ibn Al Mujawir, and a document bearing Sultan Taimur's own seal from 1342 AH still speaks to its long trading history. Today it remains the place to shop for Omani frankincense, dairy products, traditional textiles, heritage clothing and gold and silver ornaments.
