African Tents on the beach near Mirbat, near Salalah

Dolphin and Turtles are often seen from the beach near Mirbat and the area is a haven for coastal bird life including osprey, pelican and Flamingos.  In 1972 Mirbat was the setting for a heroic battle between forces loyal to the Sultan and Marxist insurgents and many of the key sites are still very visible.  The old town boasts some of Dhofar's unique and beautiful original architecture and a stroll through the streets and alleyways leading to the sea front takes you back in time.  Salalah is also come to fantastic fruit gardens, a wonderful Frankincense souk.  Nearby is Wadi Darbat where you can take a tranquil walk beside water filled pools and the ruins of Sumerham, the ancient trading port of the Queen of Sheba.  

Hud Hud offers a four night, five day safari in Dhofar.  This is a Private camp with two nights spent on a beach near Mirbat and two nights deep in the Empty Quarter.
