Dhofar Essentials
Dhofar is defined by the Khareef monsoon, which transforms its arid mountains into lush greenery. This selection spans the region's diverse landscape, from UNESCO-listed frankincense ports at Al Baleed and Khor Rori to the limestone blowholes of Marneef Cave. The list includes the 19th-century forts of Taqah and Mirbat, the ancient desert ruins of Ubar, and the high-altitude viewpoints of Jabal Samhan, alongside the fragrant frankincense stalls of Al Haffa Souk.
