we went to salalah today and the visit was the icing on the cake of a wonderful trip. our local guide hamid allowed us to visit places of unique beauty from east to west. camels roaming free, an old pre-Islamic trading city on a hill overlooking a lagoon facing the sea, a lush oasis complete with waterfalls with the clearest water I've ever seen, trees of the 'incense, pristine white sand, pink flamingos, gysers sprouting from the cliffs, a mad gold market. unmissable! I'm just saying that i have yet wrote an email to lonely planet describing the location with too little emphasis. alone is worth the ticket price. thanks hamid. one day we will return, inshallah
