Salalah Rotana Resort

Dhofar


Often full, this enormous, chic, marble-clad hotel plays on its Arabian Nights theme with lanterns, pointed arches and majlis (reception room) seating on Arabian-style couches. Rooms are large and tastefully designed, and there are attractive pools, good on-site restaurants and a popular beach bar.
