They have been doing a lot of work on the city to give a good impression of what the city used to be like. Add that to the spectacular views of Wadi Darbat and the ocean, and it makes this a must see in the Salalah area. There are also a couple of small museums. The amount of signage is lacking on the roads to the city and the second museum so that could be improved, but our GPS helped us make the right turns the first time.

The Dhofar region of Oman with it's grandeur is definitely recommended for a visit. Salalah is the center-point. We saw Dolphins in the sea and also huge herds of Camel. The drive all through is picturesque and the guides were really great drivers maintaining all safety measures. Enjoyed Thoroughly. Neeta and Bhaskar

Go for it! It was a fun experience. My wife and I actually tried a couple of experiments. We had the car going in reverse up the hill, going up the hill and further، and pushing the car uphill...so light like pushing a shopping cart, all in neutral with no acceleration. Go for the experience.
