Below are the places we covered in our last day, along with a brief of trip from Salalah to Muscat.
1. Ain Garziz
Ain Garziz is a picturesque spring located in the Dhofar region of Salalah. Nestled amidst lush greenery and rugged mountains, it is a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a serene escape. The spring flows year-round, providing a refreshing oasis, especially during the Khareef season when the area transforms into a verdant paradise. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for picnics, nature walks, and photography, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
2. Ittin Cave
Ittin Cave, located near Salalah, is a fascinating natural attraction that draws adventurers and history enthusiasts alike. The cave is known for its impressive stalactites and stalagmites, formed over thousands of years. Exploring the cave provides a glimpse into the geological history of the region, and its cool interior offers a pleasant respite from the heat. The surrounding area is also known for its beautiful landscapes, making it a great spot for hiking and enjoying the natural beauty of Dhofar.
3. Nabi Ayoub's Tomb
Nabi Ayoub's Tomb, also known as the Tomb of Prophet Job, is a revered religious site located in the mountains of Salalah. According to Islamic tradition, this is the final resting place of Prophet Job (Ayoub), known for his patience and faith during his trials. The tomb is a place of pilgrimage for many visitors who come to pay their respects and seek blessings. The site offers a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, adding to its serene and contemplative ambiance.
Trip from Salalah to Ruwi
A trip from Salalah to Ruwi, a commercial district in Muscat, offers a unique journey through Oman’s diverse landscapes. The distance between Salalah and Ruwi is approximately 1,100 kilometers, and the journey can be undertaken by road, air, or a combination of both. Traveling by road provides an opportunity to experience the changing scenery, from the lush greenery of Salalah during the Khareef season to the arid and rugged terrain of central Oman. Key stops along the way include the cities of Nizwa and Adam, where travelers can explore ancient forts, traditional markets, and historical sites. Alternatively, a flight from Salalah to Muscat followed by a short drive to Ruwi offers a quicker but equally exciting way to travel. Ruwi itself is a bustling area with a mix of modern amenities and traditional Omani culture, providing a perfect end to the journey with its vibrant markets, shopping centers, and dining options.
