Superb Guide and Sites in Salalah! - This tour and our tour guide, Momen, far exceeded any expectations we had of our day in Salalah. He showed us Salalah’s beautiful beaches, resorts, and surrounding villages. Then we drove through the mountainous region where camels roamed free, waterfalls flowed into turquoise pools, and clouds danced around sheer rock-faced cliffs. We saw massive sinkholes, the stately Baobab trees and experienced the amazing location of gravity that had enough force, it pulled our car across the pavement! Momen introduced us to Arabian coffee with dates and the delectable taste of fire grilled camel with warm pita bread and savory humus. We then stopped at a lovely roadside fruit stand where Momen ordered freshly-cut coconuts, and we sipped the refreshing juice then snacked on its fresh, meaty interior. We loved our time in Salalah almost as much as we loved Momen. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, we can’t recommend him and this tour enough!!
