Salalah, Capital city in Dhofar region, Oman
Salalah extends along the Arabian Sea coast, featuring palm-lined streets and white sand beaches against a background of mountains.
The city reached its economic peak in the 13th century as a central hub for the lucrative trade of frankincense across ancient maritime routes.
The annual Salalah Tourism Festival presents traditional Omani music, dance performances, craft exhibitions, and regional food specialties.
The Khareef season from July to September brings regular rainfall and temperatures between 20-25°C, making it an optimal period for visiting.
Salalah transforms into a green landscape during monsoon season while the rest of the Arabian Peninsula remains predominantly desert.
