Your Travel Experience with Travco Egypt
Embark on a full-day adventure by 4x4 jeep exploring the stunning eastern region of Salalah. Your journey begins with a drive towards the town of Taqah, where you'll visit the Taqah Castle—a beautifully restored structure that offers insights into the region's history and architecture. Nearby, explore the Old Wali's House, a traditional residence that gives a glimpse into the life of a former local ruler. Continue on to Sumhuram, an important UNESCO World Heritage Site, once known in ancient times as Khawr Rori. This archaeological site was a significant port in the frankincense trade and contains ruins that date back to the 1st century AD. Next, drive to the breathtaking Jabal Samhan mountain range, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of Dhofar. From this high vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the vast wilderness and steep cliffs that plunge dramatically into deep valleys—an ideal spot for photography and taking in the grandeur of nature. The tour continues with a visit to Wadi Darbat, a lush valley known for its waterfalls (seasonal), flowing streams, and unique natural beauty. Depending on the time of year, you may see camels grazing freely and birds nesting along the water's edge. End your day at Ayn Razat, a natural spring surrounded by well-maintained gardens. This area is notable for its falaj irrigation systems, an ancient and ingenious method of distributing water that has sustained agriculture in the region for centuries. This full-day jeep tour blends nature, history, and culture, offering an unforgettable exploration of Dhofar's rich heritage and dramatic landscapes.
