Sadah
Sadah, 135 km from Salalah, was a trading port for frankincense
export. Sadah has an impressive fort and the sub-district of Hasek
has the remains of an ancient city as well as a mausoleum to the
Prophet Saleh bin Hud on the slopes of Jebel Nous. There are long
stretches of clean white beaches, dramatic cliffs and scenery.
The mountains contain caves and grottos and the spring called
Ain Laja is the source water for the city's drinking supply.
Honey production
is popular in this wilayat, as well as livestock breeding and
herding. Diving for oysters is still well practised.
