Places

One of Oman's oldest continuously inhabited towns with unique multi-story mud-brick houses. Bait Al Safah living museum shows traditional Omani home life.

The largest continuous sand desert on earth, stretching across Oman's western border into Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Enormous dunes, absolute silence, and no phone signal. Accessible from Salalah with a guide and a 4WD. Not a day trip: this is expedition territory.

A municipal park with shade and seating. Not a destination on its own, but a nice place to rest.

A lively market in Barka. Morning is the best time to visit when vendors are setting up fresh goods.
