We loved our trip. We were absolutely amazed by the crashing waves from the top! We also saw Prophet Ayub’ tomb. I was in awe with the picturesque view. Highly recommend. The best time to go to Salalah is the monsoon season called khareef we saw lots of greenery in august. Overall a lovely experience.

I would highly recommend this tour.
It is a complete contrast to the East Salalah mountain tour and shows the beautiful pristine beaches and spectacular views of the mountains in the region. Abo Salim was an excellent guide and driver. He was extremely helpful and obliging when the best photo opportunity’s presented. Our tour finished at a cafe called Al Marnif restaurant on the beach front with spectacular views of the ocean. Abo Salim is very knowledgeable on the history and culture of the country. Thank you for a great day.

Tour to west side of Salalah was amazing with all the gorgeous beaches. Mohammad Ali showed us all the great beaches plus the hidden once too that are only known to locals. He was also kind enough to pick us up to our hotel and drop us to a different hotel we booked! Highly recommended tour!

The West Tour is definitely a highlight in Salalah. Beautiful beaches, clear water, fascinating rock formations. The blowholes are somewhat weather-dependent and there wasn’t much to see on our visit. Many thanks to our guide Abo Salim who went out of his way to make our trip perfect.

Mr Abdul Azeez was an excellent tour guide. He took us everywhere on the west side, very good English and answered any questions. He was very presentable, kind and helpful. His driving was also excellent and we all felt very safe. He gave us enough time to roam around rather than dictating how long we can spend at each location.
I highly recommend him.
