Muscat: As per the figures from National Center for Statistics and Information, the number of tourists and visitors to the Khareef Season in 2022 was about 813,000, while the total visitor spending in the season amounted to OMR 86 million.

The resplendent Khareef season in Dhofar is expected to bring in hordes of tourists and visitors this season too.

The Khareef Dhofar season, which begins on June 21, will affect the coastal areas of the Governorate – from the Wilayat of Dhalkut in the west to the Wilayat of Mirbat in the east – owing to the monsoons and the flow of clouds coming from the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The season will continue until September, greening the mountainous areas and plains.

The events and activities of this year’s Khareef Season, organized by the Dhofar Municipality, will be held in several locations.
