1 Best Sight in Oman

The sprawling ruins of a giant 4th- to 6th-century palace, reputed to be that of the legendary Queen of Sheba, are found some distance outside Salalah. A drive here takes you 28 km (17 miles) toward Takah and Mirbat. A road sign on the way indicates the location, but it's easy to miss, so look carefully for the turn-off.
