Salalah receives first rain of Khareef season

It was a pleasant surprise for the residents of Salalah as the city received first rain of the Khareef season. The drizzling that started as early as 2am on Friday continued till late in the evening. It is a good coincidence that the Salalah Tourism Festival (STF) is opening at the Municipality Recreation Ground in Itin from today. The news of rain seems to have travelled among the residents and Eid holiday visitors even during the night, as many of them were seen roaming randomly on the Salalah streets either in their cars or just in front of their houses soon after the drizzling started.
