When most of the region hides from the intensity of the scorching summer sun, Salalah, the land of frankincense
wears a mantle of mist and lush greenery, which is why the place is a good get-away this summer.
Every year, the summer monsoon sweeps west across the Indian Ocean from the subcontinent of India. As the heavy Monsoon thunderstorms race across thousands of
kilometers between the Dhofari and Malabar coasts, they diffuse a misty, wet breeze. This transforms the coastline into a refreshing landscape of growing life. This season has aptly been called the
‘Khareef’, meaning ‘winds of plenty’. The Khareef season is the trigger for tourists and others from different regions to flock to Salalah. During this time flights are fully booked, hotels are overflowing.
