What you'll see and do
Taqah Castle
The last stop of the tour is Taqah where the castle and the beach are visited. The castle was built 300 years ago by a Wali and offers an impressive insight into the former life in the castle. You can discover for example old objects of daily use, furniture, clothing and traditional jewelry.
45 minutes here
The beach in Taqah fascinates by its white sand and crystal clear water. There is also a cliff right next to the beach from where you have a breathtaking view over the beautiful widths of the beach.
30 minutes here
On this tour you will dive into the beauty of the eastern Salalah and be fascinated with what nature and people have to offer. First we will go to Wadi Darbat in the Quara Mountains, where between numerous waterfalls and impressive rock formations the animals of the area gather for drinking at the riverbed.
60 minutes here
Jebel Samhan is the highest point in Dhofar region and fascinates with it's panorama view over the landscape. The peak of the mountain is so high that you often find yourself higher than the clouds which makes the experience even more special.
30 minutes here
Teeq Cave and Tawi Ateer Sinkhole
Tawi Ateer means "Well of Birds" and reminds of a scenery from Jurassic Parc. The Taiq Sinkhole is the world's third largest sinkhole measuring 1km in length and 200m in depth.
10 minutes here
Salalah
The baobab trees, which are more common in African flora and fauna, have also found a home in Oman. Threatened with extinction, about 200 exemplars grow in Dhofar, some of which are estimated to be over 300 years old.
10 minutes here
Earth Gravity Controversial
The Anti Gravity Point is located at a hill between Mirbat and Salalah. The phenomenon here is that a car put into neutral gear will drive up to 35km/h uphill. There are several theories for this miracle and maybe you are the one solving it…
10 minutes here
Mirbat
In the early afternoon we stop at a traditional Arabic restaurant and have lunch. Your guide will have some recommendations for you and will choose the right restaurant according to your preferences. Lunch and drinks, coffee or tea are included in the tour price.
60 minutes here
Mirbat Castle
Now we go to a small coastal town called Mirbat, which translated means horse market. The name originated from the trade with horses, spices and frankincense which made Mirbat an important trading port. Even today, magnificent trading houses remind us of the wealth of that time. The fortress of Mirbat was built in the 18th century and is unfortunately not open to tourists, but you have an impressive view from the hill on which the castle stands.

East Tour of Salalah
I joined 2 families on this tour and had the pleasure of having Abdulaziz as my tour guide. He was patient, knowledgeable, accommodating and has a good sense of humor. We went to Wadi Darbat Waterfalls, Sinkhole Twi Atir, Samahan Mountain Viewpoint, Gravity point and saw the Baobab Trees. The highlight were the waterfalls. The surrounding area is green and well protected to allow all tourists to view and appreciate. I visited during the first week in July, so although the area was green, it will be advisable to visit later in July or August after the Monsoon starts to see the waterfalls at its peak. Abdulaziz was patient and gave us enough time at each site to enjoy the breathtaking views and provided us with relevant information of each destination. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Salalah and especially ask for Abdulaziz to be your tour guide 😊 My only concern was the poor bathroom facilities in Salalah but this was no fault of the tour company. However Abdulaziz always tried his best to find alternative ways for me to use the restroom. Thanks again for an amazing tour and look forwarding to visiting Salalah again in the near future.
Response from the operator: It's wonderful to hear about your enjoyable experience with Abdulaziz as your tour guide! Exploring the Wadi Darbat Waterfalls and other stunning locations sounds like a fantastic adventure. We're grateful for your kind recommendation and are glad that Abdulaziz's patience and knowledge enhanced your journey. Your feedback about the bathroom facilities is duly noted, and we're pleased that Abdulaziz did his best to accommodate your needs. We can't wait to welcome you back to Salalah for another incredible tour in the near future!

Incredible tour of the beauties of Eastern Salalah!
I had a wonderful afternoon! The Wadi Darbat is exactly like the pictures that are seen on tourist agencies websites, and is beautiful. Unfortunately we didn't see the camels swimming, but as there are all over the road, I didn't mind! The guide also took us a little further to taste dates around a good Omani coffee which was very nice, and a good time to talk to us a little more about Omani culture. The Dżabal Samhan is truly breathtaking, especially when there is a little cloud. I also enjoyed seeing the city of Taqah, especially with its mosque with typical Omani architecture. I also warmly thank the guide, who really shared with us different aspects of Omani culture, and his knowledge of the flora and fauna of the places we visited. I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Merci Beaucoup! 😊

Wonderful trip, amazing guide
East tour, June 3 We had a wonderful trip with our guide: we had a great time visiting a lot of places: 1. Waterfalls of Wadi Darbat 2. Funnel Twi Atir 3. Observation deck on Mount Samakhan 4. Baobabs 5. Gravity point. We were here in the low season, but maybe this is even a plus, because there were no tourists at all, and the nature was just as amazing. A lot of thanks to the guide for such a wonderful time together: it was very fun and informative. The best guide! 😍
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time writing a review about your experience with us. Best regards from Salalah ☀️

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salalah.
How much does Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salalah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salalah is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salalah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salalah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salalah and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day East Oman Tour from Salalah with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salalah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salalah?
+
On Outty we rank every Salalah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include East Salalah Mountain Safari, Wadi Darbat, Beach, Camels, Dunes, Private Salalah Mountain Safari, West Salalah Tour - Caribbean of Orient - Fazayah Beach with City. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salalah?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salalah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
