A Great Local Shopping Experience at Al Hosn Market, Salalah

I recently visited Al Hosn Market in Salalah and really enjoyed the experience. It's a great place to explore if you're looking to get a feel for the local culture and traditional shopping vibe. The market has a wide variety of shops selling everything from frankincense, perfumes, souvenirs, to traditional Omani clothing and crafts.

The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and the shopkeepers were generally friendly and welcoming. You can find some authentic and unique items here that you won’t get in regular malls.

It’s a great spot to pick up gifts or something traditional, and just walk around soaking in the local culture. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Salalah and want to experience more than just the usual...

Loved it! The original souq is under renovation because of the damage from last years storm. None the less, still enjoyed my visit, you can find many traditional items here such as frankenscence and frankenscence burners, yards of clothing, the traditional Dhofari dress, luban and silver and much more. If you don't mind the smell of the sea and bargaining (which is a must!) then I'd say you can't visit Salalah without visiting this place. Oh and alot of the tailor's in the area can make you any piece you like usually takes 1-3 days (much faster than Muscat tailors) so if your are staying for a while you can always get yourself a custom piece. Dont forget ALWAYS...

Its a small market with nice atmosphere and friendly sales people , has lots of nice small souvenirs and of course the loban (chewing gum) , they cell the raw chewing gum where it is mainly used either as a air scenting like the incense or as a local herbal remedy used here , they have different ways of using it , I am not a medical expert or local to advise the benefits or way of uses so mind understanding before using Anyway the sales man are mostly non Omani so very less english and even arabic is only in the local slang so the communication is not easy but still possible and interesting though. Enjoy and keep clean

Fair prices , where everyone is willing to drop their initial asking prices . You can walk out of here with a lot of gifts for very little if your willing to barter. Don’t be afraid to walk away if you don’t want something ,don’t worry it not offensive to do so . Great place for all sorts of middle eastern gifts from fabrics, perfumes/oils, frankincense ,and many other Omani gifts ,this is the place to come to in Salalah

Al Hafa Market is one of the most visited place in Salalah. This place is approximately 5-10 minutes drive from Salalah City centre. You can find local products. Tourist love this place to visit and buy some souvenirs back to their country. This place specially famous for Frankincense or Luban.
