SALALAH: Dhofar Governorate is experiencing a boom in commercial activity in traditional markets (souqs), shopping centres and tourism sites during the Khareef Dhofar Season.


The business activity is driven by a large influx of visitors to the governorate who wish to enjoy the exceptional monsoon weather. It constitutes direct support to the national economy.


Commercial activities range from shopping in traditional souqs and modern malls - with an observable rise in sales of handicrafts and local delicacies - to rising demand for restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, tourist sites and entertainment facilities.


The owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) told Oman News Agency (ONA) that Khareef Dhofar Season provides a great opportunity for the growth of sales and the expansion of commercial activity. - ONA
