Shuwayb Beach — Beach in Dhofar, Oman

About Shuwayb Beach

A secluded white-sand beach in the Rakhyut area with crystal-clear waters and fog-covered cliffs. Remote and pristine, best experienced during or just after the Khareef season when the surrounding landscape is at its most dramatic.

Shuwayb sits near Rakhyut in the remote west Dhofar coast where mountains meet the sea in a dramatic landscape unlike anywhere else in Arabia. Almost no one comes here.
