Dhofar Municipality has announced the establishment of stringent requirements for organising mobile homes, commonly known as caravans, during the Khareef season in Salalah. The move comes as a result of recognising the significance of orderly caravan arrangements and the provision of designated areas.
The conditions outlined by the municipality encompass several crucial aspects. Caravans owners are required to obtain permits before setting up their caravans.
Erecting fences or berms is strictly prohibited, as is the use of loudspeakers, lasers and upward-facing lights. Furthermore, it is mandatory to equip the caravans with adequate safety and security measures throughout the authorised period.
Moreover, caravans owners must adhere to the designated location specified by the competent authority in the municipality.
In the event of a request for relocation, the competent authority should be contacted for proper guidance. It is also essential to maintain the cleanliness of the assigned site during the permit period. Additionally, the use of mobile toilets is only permitted if they meet sanitary requirements. Organisers are strictly prohibited from transferring or assigning the permit to other individuals.
Among the conditions applicable to caravan owners during the autumn period in Salalah is the obligation to pay the prescribed fees, amounting to RO 35. Additionally, a refundable insurance fee of RO 50 is required, which will be reimbursed upon the conclusion of the authorised period.
To ensure compliance, the municipality has imposed a fine of RO 100 for any violation of the established conditions and regulations. In case of repeated violations or failure to adhere to the necessary requirements, immediate removal will be enforced, with the municipality bearing no responsibility towards the cost.
Dhofar Municipality urges all caravan owners to strictly follow these requirements and maintain a harmonious coexistence with the surrounding environment and fellow residents. By organising caravans in accordance with these regulations, residents and visitors alike can enjoy a safe and enjoyable autumn experience.
