Its open to both men and women but women have to cover their heads before entering. The tomb is about 40 feet long and covered in prayer mats and sheets with religious inscriptions.

Salalah Local Markets

Hafa Souk: Hafa Souk, also known as the Frankincense Market is where you’ll find traditional Omani clothes, headgear, souvenirs and of course Frankincense. Most of the Frankincense shops are run by women and the tailors and dressers are all men. We went to one of the bigger shops in the area to browse their collections. I found out from the museum visit that Khojari is the best quality Frankincense you can buy so we bought a KG which cost about 4.5 OMR. Hafa Souk is located on Sultan Qaboos street and is only a few minutes away from the airport.
