Al Baleed Resort Salalah By Anantara

Salalah is a fertile land with the highest production of banana and coconuts in the country. Unlike the rest of Oman where you will find ample date trees everywhere, Salalah is the only region in the country with no dates tree but coconut! Due to the abundance of coconut in the city, there is a dedicated street of coconut market near Ad Dahariz beach in Salalah. The street gets jammed pack with cars as soon as the sun sets, which clearly shows its popularity among the locals. Along with coconut, banana, sugarcane juice, and dry fruits are also being sold the coconut street market
