About

The Salalah khors are coastal lagoons where mountain streams meet the sea, forming reed-fringed wetlands that are among Oman's best birdwatching sites. Flamingos, herons and hundreds of migratory species gather at the in-town lagoons - East Khawr is the most reliable - especially after khareef when the lagoons fill. Calm and scenic, they are an easy nature stop beside the coast road.

Visitor Notes

East Khawr is free and the best flamingo spot; Khawr Rawri (Sumhuram) charges separately.
