Explore Beautiful Salalah
For a brief three months of the year, the southern tip of Oman’s coast is enshrouded by otherworldly mists that create such abundant pastures of greenery in the flourishing wadis that one might mistake them for Ireland.
Summoned by the monsoons of Southeast Asia, the rains lightly drizzle Salalah (located in the Dhofar Region) into its Khareef season, and with it, bring thousands of spectators to appreciate this natural transformation. Beach cliffs overlook rough ocean swells, with frankincense trees and camels adding to the exotic wonders of the area.
Join ECC Adventures on this incredible experience. Another chance won’t come around for another year!
