The Peninsula's annual miracle: while the Gulf boils, Dhofar turns to mist, waterfalls and green.
A climate phenomenon before a city: the Indian monsoon's edge brushes Dhofar alone June-September, flipping desert into misty meadows and waterfalls while the Peninsula tops 50°. Wadi Darbat's lakes, the Mughsail blowholes, Al Haffa's frankincense souq (Dhofar grows Earth's finest), and coconut carts on the corniche. Book two months ahead; September trades some mist for calm.
In-depth pages on the city's history, getting around, and the best times to visit.
Exactly when, where to stay, how to plan your days, and how to dodge the crowds — every secret of the green season.
