Hotel overview

The extensive grounds where manicured lawns ring the three interlinked pools and palm trees offer cooling shade are one of the big appeals of the Crowne Plaza; another is the swathe of white-sand beach in front of the hotel. The décor has nods to Omani heritage and the rooms are a decent size with modern, elegant furnishings. For a small supplement, upgrade to a room with a view over the Indian Ocean.

Quirky excursions

View all excursions in Oman
Excursion

Mughsayl Beach

Heading out of Salalah along the coastline towards the Yemeni border, the shoreline rises and becomes more rocky than sandy. Partially collapsed caves at Mughsayl have created wonderful blowholes. In the right conditions, a building roar presages great fountains of seawater exploding up out of these blowholes to soak delighted spectators. Not far past Mughsayl the steep cliffs and mountain ranges tower and hide the “Furious Road”, a strip of tarmac defiantly twisting repeatedly back on itself in an effort to conquer the peaks and make its way into Yemen.

Excursion

Fishing in Oman

From the Shuwaymiah No Boundaries Fishing Lodge you can head out into the Indian Ocean to reefs where giant trevally and tuna lie ready to test even the most expert fisherman. Offshore lie the Hallaniyat Islands, an untouched trove of fish and home to manta rays, dolphins, sail fish and humpback whales. Closer to home, shore fishing brings in bream, snapper, sting rays and sand sharks. Conservation is close to the hearts of those running the operation and fish are released once caught.

Excursion

Job's Tomb

About 40 miles from Salalah is a trace of the now-departed Jewish community of Oman. Job, a prophet for all three major monotheistic religions, is reputed to have lived in Dhofar and his tomb makes for an interesting visit. The tomb is some 13 feet long and Job is said to have been this tall, a fact further attested by his huge footprint in a nearby rock.

Excursion

Shisr

Shisr, a tiny well in the interior of Dhofar, gained international recognition in the early 1990s when Sir Ranulph Fiennes and a team of archaeologists identified it as a legendary lost city, Ubar, swallowed by desert sands. Debate rages as to whether or not this is the case, and the remains at Shisr are far from extensive, but for anyone who has read Fiennes’ “Atlantis of the Sands” and has an interest in the subject, Shisr is an important stop on a trip into the Empty Quarter.

Excursion

The Empty Quarter

Made legendary by the exploits of explorers like Bertram Thomas, St. John Philby and most famously of all, Wilfred Thesiger, the Rub Al-Khali (Empty Quarter) is a place of myth and fearful reputation. It’s possible to take a daytrip from Salalah to dip one’s toes into this vast sand sea where the dunes line up in towering ranks like ridges on a corrugated steel sheet covering 250,000 square miles of inhospitable terrain. For a sense of complete isolation and to get just an inkling of what the desert Bedouin and men like Thesiger endured (or even enjoyed) it’s a trip worth taking.
