   West of Salalah: Mughsayl, Nabi Ayub, Salalah city

   Today you explore the west of Salalah and the city itself. After breakfast, visit Mughsayl, a popular beach west of Salalah, to see its blowholes.

   When the waves hit the rock, air and water are forced up through vents in the ground, almost like a fountain. The force is surprisingly strong, and it is great fun to watch.

   Your day ends with an orientation tour of Salalah, with visits to the Frankincense Souq and Al Baleed Museum. Then you are dropped back at the Hilton or a similar hotel.
