Itinerary

Wadi Dawkah
Wadi Dawkah is located on the northern side of Salalah and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Dhofari Frankincense is produced here by a large natural garden of over 1200 Frankincense Trees.  An informational signboard is located at the park's main entrance and explains how sap is tapped.

Wubar Archaeologist
The lost city of Ubar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ubar ruins were discovered in a village called Shisr in the Dhofar Governorate of the Sultanate of Oman.  Archaeological excavations show that the site was formerly associated with the agarwood trade, most likely for domestic trade. Ubar disappeared into the desert sands.
