About an hour west of Salalah where the gulf waters crash against the colorful limestone cliffs and the natural blowholes shoot out impressive sprays of the salty seawater there is a scenic cave. The limestone cave is called Marneef Cave. I really liked the walk up to the rocks because it made the destination that much more grandiose. The ocean is gorgeous to the left of you as one ascends up the long stone pathway of stairs to the flat and cemented rock path at the top. There is a sign that reads “Take nothing but memories, leaving nothing but footprints, Enjoy your visit”. I thought it was a nice touch to greet visitors.
The waves crashing against the cliffs are relaxing to watch and listen to.
The blowholes were cool to see although only one of them shot water out of it. They are formed naturally when there is a hole in a surface on land because of different pressures in an underground speliological system. The air pushes through the surface opening along with water and creates a shootout of water and air. You can see the blowhole squirting water powerfully in the photo below.
