Fish, Meat & Vegetable Souk: Fresh Fish

    Salalah Fish Souk
    by iwys, 1 more photos
    Salalah's fish, meat and vegetable souk is the best place to buy fresh fish. The meat is not so good, however.

    The most common fish on sale are hamour, kingfish, tuna and sardines. There are very few shellfish, just shrimps and, very occasionally, crabs.

    The souk is traditionally a male domain and more than 95% of the customers here are Omani men.

    Lulu is a large shopping centre. The ground floor is a supermarket and the upper floor sells household goods, including electrical goods and crockery. It is, in my opinion, the best supermaket in Salalah. If you are looking for imported goods, this is one of the best places to find them. It is also a very good place to buy nuts and coffee beans. The bakery department is good too.

    Centrepoint is Salalah's only large, modern mall specializing in women's and men's fashions, as well as home decorations. It's a good place to buy fashionable clothes and shoes for all sizes. Even I can find clothes to fit me here and I'm 1.94 m tall!

    K.M. supermarket is the main rival to Lulu. It is nearer to the city centre and has more car parking space. It seems to cater mainly to the Indian and Pakistani ex-pat community, and has a great selection of curry spices.

    Al Hafah Souq (Salalah)
  • Tip Rating:
  • By amna_alshamsi on July 19, 2003
  • Salalah Page by amna_alshamsi
  • Nestled in the coconut groves on Salalah's south side is a cozy souq in the Al Hafah section of town. Here are textile shops, gold and silver souqs and probably best of all, perfumeries where you can find frankincense, and bokhur that will send your olfactory senses sailing. All the accountrements are available as well-burners and charcoal. There are several local cafe's serving up the best in local snacks and tidbits-mishkak, hummus, etc.

    dishdasha shop
    by TomorrowsAngel
    This little shop was tucked away in a corner of the Al-Husn Souk.
    Dishdashas are worn by Omani men as traditional headgear.

    The detail and quality of the dishdasha is something you should check before buying.

    Between OM 1 - OM 4, depending on the quality and workmanship, but try to bargain.
