Embark on a 10-12 hour private tour that takes you deep into the far western region of Salalah, showcasing the hidden gems of Dhofar’s coastline and mountains. This Extended West Salalah Tour will lead you through spectacular landscapes, untouched beaches, and remote villages all the way to the Yemeni border, featuring the serene beauty of Shaat, Rakhyout, and Dalkut.
Note: This is the private tour, so the price is per car price and not per person price. Each 4×4 vehicle can accommodate upto 4 people.
Itinerary:
1.Shaat: The Cliffside Gem
Our first stop is the breathtaking Shaat, where towering cliffs meet the Arabian Sea. Shaat is famous for its dramatic landscapes, lush greenery during the Khareef season, and cool, misty air. The clifftop vantage point offers panoramic views of the coastline, making it a perfect spot for photography and reflection. You can take in the wild beauty of the sea crashing against the rugged cliffs while enjoying the peace and quiet of this remote area.
2.Rakhyout: Secluded and Untouched
From Shaat, we head westward to the serene fishing village of Rakhyout. Nestled between towering mountains and the sea, Rakhyout feels like a hidden paradise far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The beach here is tranquil, with crystal-clear waters and soft sands, making it a great spot for a peaceful walk or a picnic by the sea. Rakhyout is also a wonderful place to witness traditional Omani coastal life, with local fishermen going about their day.
3.Dalkut: The Last Village Before Yemen
The final stop on this extended tour is Dalkut, and Sarfait, the last village before the Yemeni border. Dalkut is known for its lush surroundings, ancient baobab trees, and the traditional way of life that has been preserved for generations. The journey to Dalkut offers stunning views of the mountains, valleys, and coastline, and upon arrival, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered a different world. Dalkut’s unique location provides the perfect end to our journey, with the chance to explore the natural beauty of the Dhofar region before heading back to Salalah.
On the way to Dalkut, you’ll experience the beauty of Omani nature at its finest, with plenty of opportunities for photography and a chance to see one of the most isolated areas of the country.
Along the way, you’ll also encounter historical landmarks and panoramic viewpoints, providing a deeper connection to the rich culture and history of the region. Whether you’re swimming in the crystal-clear waters, exploring the rugged coastline, or simply soaking in the stunning vistas, this tour promises an unforgettable experience of Salalah’s most beautiful beaches.

Great experience, Mohamed was a very good driver and knowledgeable on every question we have! We recommend this tour! Izabela Słodkowska-Popiel2025-03-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Serdecznie polecam ośmiogodzinną wycieczkę safari o zachodzie słońca na pustyni. Piękne widoki, niezapomniane wrażenia z jazdy po wydmach oraz wiele ciekawostek opowiedzianych po drodze przez niezwykle uprzejmego i profesjonalnego przewodnika-kierowcę Abo Salim. Pan przewodnik nie tylko umilił nam czas interesującą rozmową, ale także zadbał o nasz komfort, bezpieczeństwo, a nawet o lokalne przekąski po drodze, co jest szczególnie ważne gdy podróżuje się z pięcioletnim dzieckiem. Wycieczka godna polecenia nie tylko dorosłym, ale również rodzinom z dziećmi, szczególnie jeśli lubią zwierzęta (przystanek z wielbłądami) lub jazdę na sankach po piasku :) Sergiu Stoian2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Moni G2025-01-10Verified Great tour We enjoyed the sunset dessert tour with Abo Salim. We liked the variety of spots that we visited and the friendly guide that answered all our questions, and all the information that he provided. The sunset in the dessert was amaizing and driving on the dunes was the highlight of the tour. Razvan A2025-01-10Verified Awesome experience We had a delightful time with Abo Salim. He is very kind and helpful. He drove us to camels and then we took some off-road on the dunes in the desert.I highly recommend book a trip in the desert with them. Andreea Z2025-01-09Verified Sunset in the desert We were picked up at the hotel by our driver host and story teller Abo Salim who has showed us during the tour a side of Oman that we were very anxious to experience : the real country outside the gate of any resort as can be explained to us only by a local. It was not only a trip to see the frankincense trees the camels, drink traditional coffee or experience a stunning sunset in the middle of the dunes but also get to understand how the life and customs of the omani people really is . It was an opportunity to laugh together to ask about stories of the past and present life to learn and share experiences. The trip is very interesting the fotos in the desert are spectacular, we were a small group and we got to go to a place were it was not crowded and we witnessed some cool driving skills up and down the dunes. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide! Ximena B2025-01-08Verified A must your in Salalah Amazing tour!
