As Sifah Beach — Beach in Muscat, Oman

About As Sifah Beach

A wide, calm sandy beach nestled between dramatic mountain slopes and crystal-blue sea. Its east-facing shore makes it one of the very few Omani beaches where you can watch the sun rise directly over the open sea.

Popular for weekend camping, it sits beside the upscale Jebel Sifah golf and marina resort. The combination of mountains, sea, and sunrise is a rare and magnificent sight.
