Mughsayl, Sand beach in Dhofar, Oman.
The long sandy shore extends between steep mountain peaks, offering panoramic views of the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
The coastal region of Dhofar has served as an important maritime route connecting ancient Omani traders with merchants from East Africa and Asia.
Local families gather at sunset for traditional beach picnics, while children play football matches on the expansive sand flats.
Located 40 minutes from Salalah city center, the beach remains open throughout the year with optimal visiting conditions between November and April.
Natural blowholes in the adjacent limestone cliffs spray seawater up to ten meters high during strong wave conditions.
