There's much more to Salalah than the Khareef

Shueshue Jalajala from Salalah

Salalah is a quiet place that cannot be compared to Muscat. During the "rainy" season tourist come from all over the peninsula to escape the heat and to enjoy the constant drizzle %26 fog. It's not until the end of the rainy season (in September) that th hills start to turn into a jungle and turn bright green. If you're from arabia this is an attraction in itself. If you're from Europe you'll probably find all this greenery, rain %26 fog an interesting contrast but maybe no more than that. For people from rainy %26 green countries I would recommend skipping Khareef season and heading down to Salalah between november %26 March whwn the weather is cooler and the sea is lovely %26 calm. The beaches are very beautiful. White sand, unspoilt. And the water is nice and warm. Locally kept "secrets" are the string of beaches and bays just east of Mirbat and Fasaia beach about 20 minutes after Mugsail/ the blow holes. The latter of which I recommend visiting during Khareef. It's also a great time to visite the interesting archeological sites of al baleed %26 sumharam. The views from the mountains at this time of year are simply stunning and it's a good time to go on day trips along the beach road to Hasik or in the other direction to drive along the furious road in the direction of Yemen.
