known as the Khareef. The town itself is bustling with shops, restaurants, traditional markets and friendly people.

The history of Salalah can be dated as far back as early Bronze Era.
Archaeologists have uncovered remains of a great mosque, tools, pottery, weapons and jewellery dating back to 2000 BCE. In the center of Salalah, archaeologist are conducting excavation of ancient city called Al Balid.
“Al-Balid is a historically late name for a place in the Mahra area transcribed with Latin letters as ,"Dhofaru" (Dhufar, Zafar, Zaf_r, etc.). This place lent its name to the surrounding area. With one of the finest and most reliable sources of sweet water in the entire region, al-Balid must have been attractive for settlement during the quaternary age... Up to now, the Iron Age settlement of al-Balid is known to us from stray finds, mostly pottery and a few lithics.
Recent excavations reveal al Baleed’s origins date from pre-Islamic times and that it was a major population centre around 2000 years BCE. It was a city of considerable importance during the late Iron Age and flourished during the Islamic periods. Prior to the Iron Age little information is available (Zarins, 2001. "The land of Incense").“
