Salalah's only lounge — flexible access, a hot and cold buffet and showers airside opposite Gate 3B.
The Al Khareef Lounge by Oman Air is the only lounge at Salalah Airport (SLL), the main gateway to Dhofar in southern Oman. It sits airside on the departure level, on the first floor directly opposite Gate 3B, around a five-to-seven-minute walk from passport control and security. As Oman Air's lounge it admits the airline's Business Class passengers and Gold and Silver Sindbad cardholders, but it is open to all international departing passengers regardless of airline — DragonPass and Priority Pass members are welcome, and you can also buy a walk-in day pass at the door. The space is calm and uncrowded, with a hot and cold buffet, complimentary soft drinks, showers, fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, flight-information screens and a dedicated children's play area. The usual maximum stay is around two-and-a-half to three hours.
Crowding · usually uncrowded
A workable spot for light tasks before a flight, with reliable Wi-Fi and a quiet atmosphere. Seating is lounge-style rather than desk-based, so it suits email and short sessions more than extended work.

A modest but solid hot and cold buffet — hot dishes, a cold spread, snacks, fresh fruit and vegetarian options — alongside complimentary soft drinks. The focus is on quality over variety, and the lounge does not serve alcohol.
