Why Does Salalah Become Green During the Khareef Season?
One of the main reasons why many people travel from Dubai to Salalah, Oman is to experience its unique Khareef season. The Khareef season occurs each year from approximately late June to early September and results in the transformation of Salalah into the greenest destination in the entire Arabian Peninsula. Rather than have continuous, heavy rain, Salalah has many short drizzles, heavy mists, many low clouds, and only moderate amounts of rain fall continuously, providing water to nourish the plants and flowers of Salalah.
This means that the formerly dry hillsides become lush and covered with verdant green grasses; waterfalls that were dry before are now flowing; natural springs are now full of fresh water; and the valleys are great picnic areas. Thus, the Salalah Khareef season is one of the most popular travel times for people living in Dubai, Abū ẓabī and throughout the GCC. Hotels, restaurants, public parks and other attractions are very crowded with people who want to experience the natural beauty of Oman.
What Makes Salalah Special During Khareef?
There are many reasons for thousands of holidaymakers booking Salalah holiday package every summer, unlike traditional vacations in the desert, Salalah is an entirely different type of holiday with misty mountain roads, emerald valleys, picturesque waterfalls, and refreshing ocean breezes. Visitors often spend more time outdoors enjoying scenic places with beaches, natural springs and hiking trails as a result of the pleasant weather of the city.
If you’re travelling from the UAE, Salalah Bus Tour provides you with a convenient and inexpensive way to enjoy the experience without the hassle of driving for extensive distances. With well-equipped coaches, knowledgeable tour guides and scheduled sightseeing events for the duration of your vacation, you will enjoy a stress-free holiday. No matter if you are travelling solo, with family or as part of a group, Salalah is considered one of the most revitalizing summer destinations in the Middle East.
