“What’s that striking landmark we’re approaching?”, you might wonder. That is Al-Hassila Roundabout. It’s not just a traffic circle; it’s a symbol of Salalah’s transformation. Before the new Salalah International Airport opened on 18th November Street in 2015, this roundabout, crowned by the Clock Tower, was the first glimpse of the city for air travelers. Imagine arriving in Salalah, the warm breeze carrying the scent of frankincense, and the first thing you see is this towering structure, welcoming you. The Clock Tower at Al-Hassila Roundabout is much more than a timepiece. It’s a beacon, visible even from a distance, marking a key junction in the city. It stands proudly on Ar-Rubat Street, still one of Salalah’s busiest roads. This bustling artery connects to Al-Matar Street, further solidifying Al-Hassila Roundabout’s significance in Salalah’s landscape. So, as we navigate through Al-Hassila Roundabout, take a moment to appreciate this landmark. It’s a symbol of Salalah’s past and present, a testament to the city’s growth and enduring charm.
