Overview
Each year between June and September, the Khareef monsoon transforms Dhofar's mountains into a green, misty landscape unlike anywhere else in the Arabian Peninsula. This four-day trip takes you through Salalah city, the cascades of Wadi Darbat, the natural spring at Ayn Athum, and the dramatic coastline at Mughsail — a compact introduction to one of Oman's most distinctive regions.
