Al Baleed Archeological Park

(Al Baleed Archeological Park is a stimulating ancient site to explore the conspicuous antediluvian charm of Salalah with its early Bronze Age settlement ruins and Iron Age home vestiges. The earliest settlement here is rumored to date back to 2,000 B.C. Al Baleed has witnessed several excavations since the 1970’s and an expansive pathway snakes through the relics to help visitors explore significant structures like the Citadel, City Wall and Grand Mosque. The heritage attraction is gorgeously illuminated with flood lights at dusk and looks even more resplendent in a warm tangerine glow. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon but visitors should stay until sunset to enjoy the site in natural and artificial light. Opening hours are from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. and between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. )
