Begin your journey around 18:00 at the iconic Taqah Castle, a historical gem that comes alive under the night sky. The castle’s traditional Omani architecture is beautifully highlighted by soft lighting, offering a dramatic and atmospheric view after dark. Step outside to take in the panoramic scenery — a sweeping view of the coastline, the calm sea, and the softly lit town of Taqah below. From Burj Alaskar, enjoy an amazing viewpoint overlooking the city and the ocean — perfect for photos and a quiet moment to soak in the serene nightscape. Admire the glowing exterior of the newly opened, grand Taqah Grand Mosque, beautifully lit against the peaceful night sky. Its impressive architecture and scale make for a stunning sight from the outside after sunset. Then, head to the nearby Taqah cliffs for a breathtaking sea view. Feel the cool breeze, listen to the gentle waves crashing below, and gaze up at the stars shining bright above — a perfect moment of tranquility and natural beauty. After soaking in the serene cliffside views, enjoy a comfortable 25-minute drive to Salalah. Relax as you pass through the quiet, softly lit roads leading toward the city. Your first stop in Salalah is the charming neighborhood of Al Gharif. Here, you’ll take a peaceful walk among the banana plantations, papaya trees, and vegetable gardens gently illuminated by night. You’ll also have the chance to pause at a local coffee spot, where you can enjoy traditional Omani coffee or tea, savoring the flavors as the night deepens around you. Next, head to the vibrant Haffa Souq, one of Salalah’s most famous traditional markets. As the evening unfolds, the souq comes alive with the rich aromas of frankincense, spices, and local perfumes. Explore the colorful stalls filled with handcrafted souvenirs, fragrant frankincense, and unique Omani products — perfect for finding authentic gifts and keepsakes. After exploring Haffa Souq, visit a charming traditional Yemeni shop nearby. This local gem offers a variety of authentic products, including premium dates, spices, and handcrafted goods that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region. See the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Salalah beautifully illuminated at night. This stunning architectural masterpiece, one of the largest mosques in the region, showcases intricate Islamic design and craftsmanship.
