Travel inspiration

October to April is the classic travel window for comfortable city walks, hikes, camping, and road trips.

March and April bring rose season to Jebel Akhdar, while summer travelers often focus on higher elevations or Dhofar.

Salalah's Khareef season runs in the summer months, when mist and greenery transform the south.
