Your Trip
Half-Day West of Dhofar Tour
The first place to go is Ain Garziz, which is one of the springs in the Dhofar region. Drive to the mountains next to see Nabi Ayoub (Prophet Job's Tomb), which can be seen from a high point in the Jebel (mountain). Because of its historical significance, this location is also one of the most visited in Salalah. He is referred to as Nabi Ayoub in the Quran and Prophet Job in the Bible. Also, we will go for a photo stop at the viewpoint near the Nabi Ayoub location, where they can see beautiful landscapes and mountains. Following our visit to the historical site, we will travel to Al Mughsail Beach, which is known for its blowholes. Al Mughsail Beach is a must-see in the Dhofar Region. Seawater rushes with high pressure through an underground channel and shoots out in a geyser-like eruption on the cliff. The spout can reach heights of several meters in response to the forces of the waves. End of the trip. (This tour involves walking over uneven and slanted terrain; please wear comfortable walking shoes.)
