Shuaib Beach — Beach in Dhofar, Oman

About Shuaib Beach

One of the lesser-known Rakhyut-area beaches with pristine white sands, turquoise waters and dramatic fog-covered cliff backdrops during the Khareef season. Very remote, undeveloped and entirely unspoilt.

Shuaib is one of several beautiful beaches clustered around Rakhyut in the remote west Dhofar coast. Together they form one of the least-visited stretches of beach in Arabia.
