The beach in Taqah fascinates by its white sand and crystal clear water. There is also a cliff right next to the beach from where you have a breathtaking view over the beautiful widths of the beach.
40 min
On this tour you will dive into the beauty of the eastern Salalah and be fascinated with what nature and people have to offer. First we will go to Wadi Darbat in the Quara Mountains, where between numerous waterfalls and impressive rock formations the animals of the area gather for drinking at the riverbed.

Jebel Samhan is the highest point in Dhofar region and fascinates with it's panorama view over the landscape. The peak of the mountain is so high that you often find yourself higher than the clouds which makes the experience even more special.

The baobab trees, which are more common in African flora and fauna, have also found a home in Oman. Threatened with extinction, about 200 exemplars grow in Dhofar, some of which are estimated to be over 300 years old.
Earth Gravity Controversial
10 min
The Anti Gravity Point is located at a hill between Mirbat and Salalah. The phenomenon here is that a car put into neutral gear will drive up to 35km/h uphill. There are several theories for this miracle and maybe you are the one solving it…

We booked the East Tour with Gosalalah Tour, and it was a wonderful experience. The nature was so beautiful, and our guide was very professional and friendly. I also want to say how great the communication was when booking the tours—fast and very kind.
We wanted to go diving, and it was perfectly organized for us. It was an unforgettable experience! We saw so many kinds of fish and a 200-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. It was my first time diving, but it won’t be my last.
Thank you, Gosalalah Tour, for the amazing trip and great organization!

East Salalah Highlights
We had an amazing driver Ahmed who showed us around East Salalah district.
We found out a lot from him as we asked many questions. We appreciated Ahmed’s knowledge and he also answered questions about his family and culture. We went to a beautiful waterfall and one of the highest mountains with exceptional views that seemed to go on forever. We met some local women feeding the fish in a beautiful lake and met some men having morning tea.
Ahmed expertly drove around many camels that graze along the road. Even on the highway back in to town.
This tour was fun and informative and we were delivered back to our ship in plenty of time.
Thank you
