★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · from $130Our pick

Private half-day Salalah tour covering Sultan Qaboos Mosque, Al Baleed UNESCO ruins, frankincense museum, souq shopping, beach time, views.

“Our guide knew many of the local places of interest, but I'd have liked more information about them. Instead, he wanted to talk to us about inappropriate topics such as politics, religion, prostitution and sexuality. To his credit, he chose a good local restaurant for dinner and he knew the Salalah region very well without needing GPS.”
