Hello from Oman!

My husband and I took advantage of Eid holidays to escape from Doha for a short-but-well-deserved getaway. We decided to visit Oman because we heard so many wonderful reviews about this country that we were very curious to see it.

Although Muscat is a city on my bucket list, we booked our days off at Salalah, located in the south of Oman. I’m actually not sure if we made the right choice.
Salalah is a small city. Basically there is nothing except a couple of malls. It’s totally under construction and it looks years behind Doha. But the city wasn’t a problem for us. We weren’t looking for city tours. We wanted to chill and relax. Thanks god, my husband picked a fabulous hotel. We stayed at Rotana Resort which is simply beautiful! With a huge (and I mean really huge) swimming pool, a private beach, three restaurants and a spa we were completely arranged to take the most from our holiday.

Unfortunately the weather was not very kind with us. All five days were cloudy and rainy. The sea was so rough that red flag waved for all the time. At least temperatures were amazing. There were around 32 degrees which let us know to live outdoor for the entire duration of the holiday. Those who lives in Qatar know very well what kind of privilege is this one!

I defintely recommend Rotana Resort at Salalah although they don’t provide internet access in rooms unless you paid an unbelievable and very expensive fee (35OR which means almost 100euros for 3 days. What?!!!!). From a five stars hotel I expect free wifi everywhere.

Despite that all facilities were fantastic. We pampered ourselves at the Spa, gifting us two hours of pure relax. We tried out Scrub and Wrapping Body Treatment and a regenerating massage. Divine! We tried all three restaurants and my favorite was The Beach which is of course next to the beach, in front of the sea 😉 For asian food lovers, Silk Road restaurant was pretty good. I ordered Edamame and Green Curry Chicken with rice and both were delicious.

Regarding what to see at Salalah, I’m going to dedicate another post! So keep watching this space 🙂
