Dolphin Beach Restaurant at Crowne Plaza Salalah
Dolphin Beach Restaurant is the best beach front dining venue in Salalah. This open air restaurant is just few meters away from the shore of the Amazing Indian Ocean. Even from the dining area, one can have a view of the white sand and the waves approaching the shore.
Since there is no such place in Salalah like Dolphin Beach Restaurant, this Lebanese food festival is a great success. When we were there, the restaurant was almost full with locals, Arab travelers and international tourists. Many of them are staying at Crowne Plaza Salalah.
