Inside, visitors will see a spacious prayer hall decorated with intricate chandeliers, colorful carpets, and fine Islamic geometric designs.

Taqah Cliff is a high, dramatic rocky viewpoint rising at the far end of Taqah Beach. From the top, visitors can enjoy wide panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, the coastline, Taqah City, and even the distant edges of Salalah. It’s an excellent location for photography and capturing the natural beauty of Dhofar.
Please note that the cliff edge is very steep, so visitors should keep a safe distance from the edge while enjoying the scenery.
