By: Times News Service
Apart from the towering mountains, breathtaking beaches and the magnificent deserts, Oman is also known for its caves. Found in varying types and lengths, sizes and geographic formations, these caves are quite popular among tourists. There are a large number of caves in the Dhofar region, some of which have springs near them.
Al Marneef cave, about 40 km from Salalah, in Al Mughsayl area, is one of the most beautiful caves and a major attraction for tourists and residents. According to Oman’s Ministry of Tourism, “Marneef cave is in close proximity to Al Mughsayl Beach, which is one of the most preferred picnic spots for Salalah locals, residents and tourists.There are many benches besides the cave, where tourists can sit and take a view of the cave or Mughsayl Beach or the blowholes by their side. It’s definitely a nice area to view the surrounding landscape from.”
