Salalah is the capital of the southern Omani province of Dhofar and is the second largest town in the Sultanate of Oman.
Salalah, despite lying close to the Arabian Desert, enjoys a tropical climate through most of the year. Temperatures are very hot in the summer soaring up to 40°, but in winter can fall down to 22°. The town is subjected to the south-west monsoons from late June to early September and visitors from across the Persian Gulf flock to Salalah to enjoy the monsoon and avoid the harsh heat faced by the rest of the region during the same period.

Guest Testimonial
We are most grateful for the efforts you (Sam Williams) have made on our behalf to make up for the cancellation of the Sun Boat III trip.
It is when things go wrong that companies demonstrate whether they just talk about good customer service, or mean it. You obviously mean it and we fully intend to travel with Abercrombie and Kent again.![]()
