Why this trip

When in summer the Khareef monsoon reaches the coast, the south of Oman turns green, and that in the middle of Arabia. Salalah surprises everyone who knows Oman only from desert pictures: waterfalls, coconut palms and the scent of frankincense shape the place. For travellers with a lifelong wish for Arabia this is the unexpected side. The Ayn Athum Waterfalls and Ain Sahanoot show how water works in the landscape.

From the Jabal Samhan Viewpoint you look far over the coastal plain and the sea. Guided excursions in the surroundings can be booked through local providers. The frankincense that has been traded here for centuries can be got to know at the market. October to March is considered the best time, when it is dry and mild.

Anyone who wants to experience the green phase of the Khareef plans a different period and should clarify this early. Jabal Akhdar and Musandam lie as further destinations in Oman to the north. Because the travel season determines so much here, preparation begins with the question of what you want to see. Once in a Lifetime discusses it with you in the video call.
