With crescents of white sands stretching as far as you can see, it's no wonder the Sultan chose Salalah as Oman's summer capital. The other reason is Salalah's wondrous climate. Watered copiously by summer monsoons, coastal Dhofar is green and inviting, while just beyond the hills lies the arid desert. See the Tomb of the Prophet Job and follow the Frankincense Trail to Mughsail, where you can walk through ancient groves of gnarled frankincense trees older than Job himself!
