Qatar Airways Vice President GCC, Levant, Iran, Iraq & Yemen, Mr. Ishfaq Jalal, said: "Salalah is the perfect trip in the summer months. Its unique climate, especially throughout the cooler Khareef season, offers a welcome break from the rising heat the remainder of the area experiences between June and September.

As the capital of Oman's Dhofar region, Salalah is known as the Sultanate's 'Second City'. It is renowned for its yearly monsoon season, referred to as the Khareef, which sees the desert landscape change into lush green areas from June to August each year. Throughout this peak period, the variety of visitors to Salalah triples in comparison to the remainder of the year. An annual Khareef festival celebrates the rainy season and attracts thousands of visitors.
Salalah is popular for its unique qualities, which include fruit plantations and banana groves, beaches lined with coconut palms, dynamic local culture with souqs and Omani handicrafts, and a myriad of archaeological sites showing the Sultanate's rich, prosperous history.

The city and its environments are a sanctuary for wild animals lovers and adventure-seekers, with wadis, sinkholes and reefs to check out, and wild animals such as turtles, gazelles, evasive Arabian leopards and more to discover.

Following the Khareef season, Qatar Airways will maintain 14 flights a week to the popular Omani city.
