Detailed itinerary
1
Eftilqout Cliff – The Balcony of the Arabian Sea:
Stand atop one of Salalah’s most breathtaking viewpoints, where the Eftilqout Cliff rises dramatically above the turquoise sea. Gaze out over the endless horizon, feel the cool breeze rushing up the steep cliffs, and capture panoramic photos of the untouched coastline below. It's a moment of awe—where the land meets the vastness of the ocean in spectacular style.
2
Mughsail Beach – Wild, Windy, and Wonderfully Scenic:
A long stretch of golden sand framed by rugged mountains and crashing waves, Mughsail Beach is nature in its raw, wild beauty. Walk along the shore as the surf rolls in, listen to the rhythmic crash of the waves, and soak in the dramatic coastal views that make this one of Oman’s most iconic beaches.
3
Mughsail Lagoon – A Hidden Sanctuary of Tranquility
Nestled between the beach and the cliffs, Mughsail Lagoon is a peaceful haven home to migratory birds, still waters, and lush greenery. Stroll along its calm edges and take in the contrast of desert and water, where flamingos and herons often glide gracefully across the surface.
4
Marneef Cave & Natural Blowholes – Nature’s Living Spectacle
Experience the thrilling power of nature at Marneef Cave, where the rocky coastline hides an amazing surprise. As waves smash against the cliffs below, watch in awe as seawater erupts from the natural blowholes, creating geysers of mist and sound. A fun and unforgettable highlight!
5
Hidden Beach – A Secret Cove Along the Arabian Coast
Tucked away behind cliffs and often missed by the average traveler, Hidden Beach is a secluded gem only accessible via rugged coastal tracks. Its crystal-clear waters, soft sands, and utter privacy make it feel like your own private paradise.

Unwind in Untouched Beauty
Finish your journey at Al Fazayah Beach, one of Oman’s most pristine coastal treasures. Surrounded by cliffs and turquoise waters, it's the ideal place to swim, relax, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of nature at its purest.
