Khareef Salalah
The ancient city of Salalah is the second largest town in the Sultanate of Oman. To know more about this remarkable city, we interviewed Mubarak Al Shahri, a specialist in tourism. Mubarak mentions that despite Salalah lying close to the Arabian desert, it enjoys a tropical climate through most of the year. Temperatures are very hot in the summer soaring t
o 40 degrees. However, in winter, it can fall down to 22 degrees.He adds that the town is subjected to the south-west monsoons, which blow from India. This period (late June to early September) is known as the Khareef season. Visitor from across the Arabian Gulf flock to
Salalah to enjoy the monsoon and avoid the harsh heat faced by the rest of the region during the same period. Also in this period, the town's population nearly doubles various fairs are organized, such as the Khareef Festival.
