MUSCAT: Official operations of the Salalah Eye are set to begin on August 15, introducing a new leisure and tourism landmark in Dhofar Governorate as the Khareef season continues to attract visitors from across Oman and abroad.
The attraction is located at the New Al Hafa Souq, one of Salalah’s leading commercial and tourist destinations. The Ferris wheel rises 55 metres above Al Hafa Beach, offering sweeping panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, the surrounding plains and the city’s picturesque coastline. The attraction is expected to provide visitors with a unique recreational experience while further enhancing Dhofar’s appeal as one of Oman’s premier tourism destinations. Each cabin accommodates up to six passengers, making the attraction suitable for families and groups seeking to enjoy the spectacular scenery from above. The operator has set the ticket price at RO 7 per person.
The project is expected to draw strong visitor interest during the Khareef season and throughout the year, adding a new dimension to the governorate’s growing portfolio of leisure attractions and supporting efforts to diversify tourism offerings.
The launch of the Ferris wheel forms part of broader initiatives to strengthen tourism and entertainment infrastructure in Dhofar, in line with the steady growth of the sector and the governorate’s increasing prominence as a regional travel destination.
