I have visited Salalah for a few days in 2007 and it was a really wonderful experience which I learnt a lot about Dhofar culture and life style.
Sure all know about the weather in Dhofar especially in autumn. If you think to escape from the hot weather of the place you are inn, plan to spend a great holiday in Salalah and explore the natural view and wonders of the north part of Oman.
