Sam ChuiReview: Oman Air Salalah Al Khareef Lounge
The ‘new’ Salalah International Airport in the Sultanate of Oman officially opened for traffic on the morning of June 15, 2015
I visited the new Salalah Airport in July 2016 and was really impressed how bright, airy and of course it is brand new! The new airport, which cost over 300 million Omani riyals, aims to enhance tourism given Salalah’s moderate weather during the summer attracts thousands of tourists from Oman and abroad. The project includes a passenger terminal, which will accommodate two million passengers per annum at the first stage and a 4km long main runway; which can accommodate even the largest airliners in the world.
Here are some picture of the terminal.

The lounge isn't huge in size, it has a very pleasant and relax appearance just like Salalah itself.

I love these lounge chairs. During my stay at the lounge, it was very quiet, no body even used them.

The new Oman Air Al Khareef lounge in Salalah is excellent. It has the right size and offer a good balance of relaxation and comfort. The food choices are excellent as well. I hope the lounge can keep up the fresh appearances.
