Dhalqut Beach — Beach in Dhofar, Oman

About Dhalqut Beach

An isolated, strikingly photogenic white-sand beach near the Yemeni border. Always deserted with pristine sands and dramatic cliffs. The legendary mountain coastal road from Salalah to reach it is itself one of Arabia's great drives.

Dhalqut is one of the most remote accessible beaches in Oman. The town was historically supplied only by sea. The approach road winds along cliff edges with views that stretch across to Yemen on a clear day.
