Salalah, the second largest city in the Sultanate of Oman, is located in the Dhofar Governorate in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Arabian Sea, and is known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean". As the capital of Dhofar, Salalah is known for its unique monsoon climate, which is green and cool during the monsoon period from June to September every year, in contrast to the hot and dry conditions in other parts of Oman, and is therefore also known as the "Monsoon City". Historically, Salalah was an important hub for the frankincense trade, which was shipped to Ancient Egypt and Rome, and remains a local specialty today. The city is rich in historical sites, such as the ancient Hafeet ruins and the Sultan's Palace, as well as beautiful golden sandy beaches and date palm groves, and is well-served by tourism. The local culture retains its Arabian heritage and the annual Khareef Festival, held during the monsoon, attracts many tourists and is an excellent place to experience the culture of southern Oman.
