Around Africa - Salalah, Oman

After successfully passing by the Gulf of Aden, we docked in one of Oman's cities and the capital and seat of the governor of Dhofar, Salalah.

I never ever thought of ever been stepping into this place I only hear from OFWs. It's already part of Asia, the Middle East to be specific.

As this is an Arab country, I thought of deserts, camels and hot weather. And they didn't disappoint me.

I went on tour and really explored it the best I could!




After boarding the bus, we passed by the famous Mughsayl Beach.



Before heading to Marneef Cave..


where we enjoyed a spectacle of the popular blowholes!







After all the picture-taking, we went straight to Job's Tomb. Nobody can really tell if this is the real one as there are other tombs of Job in the world. But seeing this is quite an experience already!





Along the road, this is just a normal sight.



And they have that practice of honking the incoming vehicle if they have passed by a camel along the road to serve as a warning.

Camels are just everywhere!


The tour guide told us that all the dry land we see along the way become lush green comes the rainy season between June to September.


After our visit to Job's tomb, we dropped by the Government's Palace. We could not go inside. Hence, just these pics.



Then to the Old Market and bought souvenirs!




It was a fun-filled exploration!
