Dhofar beckons you to immerse yourselves in the enchanting beauty that unfolds during the Khareef season. However, this invitation comes with a gentle reminder: safety is paramount. Heed all general safety instructions and navigate the roads with utmost respect for traffic regulations.


To maximise your enjoyment, here are some invaluable tips:


• Plan ahead: Secure your accommodation well in advance, particularly in popular tourist destinations.


• Road ready: Before embarking on any journey, make sure to check the latest road conditions.


• Pack for the unexpected: Always carry an umbrella or raincoat to be prepared for any sudden weather changes.


• Safety first: Adhere to traffic rules and prioritise your safety throughout your visit.


• Respect the environment: The beauty of Dhofar is a shared treasure. Help preserve it by disposing of waste responsibly.



Dhofar boasts a treasure trove of captivating tourist attractions that are even more alluring during the Khareef season. Among these gems are the Dhofar Mountains, renowned for their breathtaking vistas and unparalleled biodiversity. Jabal Samhan, Jabel Qatan, and Jabel Luban stand as majestic testaments to the region's geological wonders.


The Dhofar coastline is a vision of serenity, boasting pristine beaches adorned with pearlescent sands and kissed by crystal-clear waters. Mirbat Beach, Salalah Beach, and Al Mughsail Beach are just a few of the coastal paradises waiting to be explored. Nature's artistry extends beyond the mountains and beaches, with Dhofar's waterholes scattered throughout the governorate like scattered emeralds. Ayn Razat, Ayn Barkah, and Ayn Sahalnout are but a few of these hidden wonders waiting to be discovered.



With meticulous preparations in place and a clear understanding of the potential weather patterns, Dhofar stands poised to be the ideal destination for an unforgettable autumn escape. This season promises a unique blend of adventure and tranquility, all set against the backdrop of a breathtaking natural spectacle.


The Atin Square amusement area will adopt a new, attractive concept this year, featuring a sports challenge field, light and laser shows. The Dhofar International Theatre Festival will be organised for the first time and will feature international theatre groups. Various activities will be organised in Salalah and other wilayats of the governorate. The events will also include karting races at the Salalah Celebrations Grounds and drag race in the Dummar area of the Wilayat of Mirbat.



Dhofar Municipality, in collaboration with the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism and Omran developed many tourist sites such as the Darbat Valley viewpoint, the Mughsail area waterfront, Ain Jarzeez, and the Hamreer viewpoint, as part of efforts to build and improve tourist and natural sites in the Dhofar Governorate.
