During the onset of the khareef or summer monsoon, Salalah looks greener and much more lush than other Omani heritages, allowing tropical fruits to grow and wadis to fill with spring water. Furthermore, the white sandy beaches including huge whale-watching opportunities, smaller souks and many less visited spots make the Salalah tour a very worthwhile addition to your holiday wish list.
