Escape to Oasis Bliss: Ain Sahalnoot in Salalah, Oman

Our last day in Salalah was saved for the best spots of our tour. Ain Sahalnoot truly proved to be one of them. They have two wonders in this destination but I will share the first spot that my husband and I first ventured. Just a 25 minute ride from our hotel, we were filled with excitement, eager to see what awaited us at this destination.

The moment the doors opened, surprise greeted us, we had arrived directly on a river pathway! Moving out the cool water submerged our slippers and pants. Instead of irritation we felt an urge to venture. My husband and I swapped smiles. We knew this was only the opening of something memorable.

While we were still taking in the surroundings my husband caught the faint sound of flowing water. With curiosity lighting up his face, he urged me to follow him in that direction. There was no precise surfaced line to guide us. Only those uneven stones and rugged ground bordered by thick vegetation. The air carried a crisp earthy smell after a mist. The surrounding mountains stood tall, cloaked in layers of rich green. Step by step we meticulously made our way forward. The sound of rushing water grows clearer longing us on. My husband prompted me to watch my steps but my heart was already racing in excitement about what stick ahead.

We came to the root of the sound. An alluring waterfall spilling down a lush hillside. It was bound by wildflowers and roaring flora. Its soft roar echoes through the area. It mixed with the whispers of the air that creates a tranquil harmony that infused our feelings. We stood there in wonder letting the beauty of the scene sink in. We feel completely parted from the outside world.

Following the flow further we found a wonderful vivid overflowing pool at the waterfall’s end. The water was a wonderful glare of blue green with lively trees and lush bordering it. Smaller flow trickled into the pool, adding a gentle rhythm to the serene scene. My husband and I paused in wonder hearts racing with joy at the beauty before us.

My husband and I found a smooth stone to sit on. It allows ourselves to fully absorb in the serenity. The only sound was the mellow hum of flowing water. A tune that seemed to slow down time itself. In that quietness every worry thawed away. It was replaced by a heartfelt sense of serenity and awe. Sitting side by side we felt completely connected not just to each other, but to the quiet pattern of nature around us.

    Visiting special places of interest really means our pleasant peaceful time. Our time makes our heart yearn to enjoy such interesting places and take a natural breath. Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip with all of us today, including the extraordinary plants, trees, mountains, plains, and beautiful unobstructed water, as well as the hills. Although it rains a lot in our city, does it rain in your city? But such a trip is really risky in rain. So be careful and I pray for your success. And of course, I hope you come back. I am happy to know that you enjoyed this exciting place with your husband and wife.

        That's really a great adventure. I love nature too. Whenever I'm outside visiting some place with natural scenery , like beaches and lakes, I could feel my heart seemed connected with it. The cold fresh air cleanses my mind and the sound of water on my ears touches my soul from the inside giving me more energy.

        Indeed, for me nature is really a perfect therapy.

        Thank you for sharing this post.

          The water was so blue and seemed so deep. But I wanted to jump in and swim in it to explore how deep it was!

            Yes, the water was so tempting. I think they don’t really allow swimming there.

            What a wonderful world this is. That place, the color of the water, the green of all of those trees... nature is so healing. Usually when I hear the name Oman I think about desert but this post has proved me wrong. Thank you for sharing this with us. Greetings.

              Thank you so much! Oman is often aligned with deserts, but this place truly shows another side of its beauty. Ain Sahalnoot really surprised us with its greenery and crystal-clear water. Nature has such a healing power.💕

              I'm glad this walk gave you so much joy! Your description is really amazing. The river and the nature there is so mesmerising! I'd love to walk there. The water is so beautiful. To be honest I'd be pissed if my pants got wet, but in that paradise probably nothing matters! I'd love to visit someday, this place looks like straight from a fairytale!

                Thanks! I know, normally wet pants would be annoying, but in that place it just felt like part of the adventure. The water was so wonderful and the whole scene was so calm, it was all so mesmerizing.🤗
