The best times of the year to visit the Sultanate of Oman

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - Oman 's climate is similar to the rest of the Arabian Peninsula with not too cold Mediterranean winters and hot summers, with the exception of Salalah where temperatures stay low thanks to the annual Khareef season from June to early September.

Temperatures begin to drop with the advent of October, and continue to do so until mid-March or April, and December can be filled with a number of tourists coming from the cold north for the Christmas holidays, but January and February are better, especially with the temperature Ideal for cultural excursions around the city.

In the summer months, temperatures reach 38 degrees Celsius during the day, and about 29 degrees Celsius at night. If you want a trip to Oman during the period between May and August, the mountainous areas are the coldest.

And if you want to go to the Dhofar Governorate in the south, which is characterized by monsoons, then the appropriate time is “khareef” in the period from June to September, as Omanis go there during this time to enjoy rain and fog, and therefore prices in turn rise to record levels in the high season in this area.

However, the green and lush area during this time is really worth it as it offers a great spectacle for the outdoors and adventure enthusiasts.

For those who want to see turtles, the best time to visit is in the months from August to November, and this is the important time for turtle whitening, but you can visit the turtle reserve all year round.
