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.

Excursion

Taqah

East of Salalah and en-route to Mirbat, is the delightful town of Taqah. In the old quarter of the town you can find the historic homes of the old traders of Taqah, dating from when the town was a significant export hub for myrrh and frankincense; these houses, some of which are now shops, have a large open downstairs where merchant’s goods used to be stored and the living quarters upstairs. The fort has been recently restored and is one of the best examples of historic military architecture in Dhofar.

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

Khor Rori

Possibly dating back as far as the 4th century BC, the ruins at Khor Rori have been identified as the town of Sumhuram, a coastal town probably established to dominate the frankincense trade. It’s a remarkable archaeological site, with the outline of the settlement clearly discernible and the ruins of houses and buildings rising to almost their original height in places. It’s one of the few places where you can really get to grips with Oman’s ancient history.

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.
