By Safiya Al-Hajri (Photo Investigation) Dhofar (Sultanate of Oman) – 7–8 (KUNA) – On the edge of the Arabian Peninsula, the natural landscape of Oman’s Dhofar governorate defies geographical constraints to present an exceptional panoramic view in the Gulf region that captivates the senses and breaks the scorching heat of summer. During Dhofar’s autumn season, visitors are greeted by mountain slopes covered in sprawling greenery and valleys where clear streams flow amid dense white fog that conceals the peaks and blocks the sun’s rays, making Dhofar one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Gulf.

Dhofar is not merely a destination for green nature, thanks to the charm of its mountains, the beauty of its plains, and the allure of its beaches and seas, but also because it abounds with cultural, recreational, artistic, and sports programs and sites, making it a comprehensive family destination suited to the diverse interests of visitors.

Event venues vary, including “Waqt Al-Tifl” (Children’s Time), “Sahat Atin” (Atin Square), “Al-Wajha Al-Asriya” (The Modern Corniche), and “Awdat Al-Madi” (Return to the Past), alongside sites such as “Al-Gharf,” “Osara,” “Al-Lamer,” and “Nova,” which offer experiences blending entertainment, culture, and the arts, providing visitors with multiple options to enjoy the season’s atmosphere.

The experience is completed by visiting Dhofar’s most famous natural landmarks, notably “Ayn Rizat,” “Ayn Darbat,” and “Ayn Athum,” where flowing waters mingle with greenery and trees to create enchanting natural scenes that attract visitors from within the Sultanate and beyond. (End) S.G.H./T.M.A.
