10 Unforgettable Family Activities in Salalah – Ciao Salalah Tours
While the world knows Salalah for its rainy Khareef season, European travelers – especially Italians – prefer visiting in October, November, and December. During these months, the weather is cooler, skies are clear, and the landscapes are still green after the rains. This period is also perfect for exploring the desert side of Dhofar, which fascinates Europeans looking for both adventure and tranquility.
At Ciao Salalah Tours, we design activities that combine the beauty of Salalah’s coast with the thrill of its desert, making your family holiday truly unforgettable.
