The climate in the Dhofar region in southern Oman is tropical. This makes it significantly different from the rest of the country. The temperatures experience minor fluctuations and it is overall more humid. While daytime temperatures are around 27°C during the winter months from December to February, it is about 32°C warm in the summer months. Even at night, temperatures rarely drop below 20°C throughout the year. From June to September, the Khareef, a branch of the monsoon, occurs. The weather in Salalah is then very humid and brings significant rainfall. The region becomes a green oasis.

Oman’s top exports early on were dates and regionally produced vegetables, fish, and frankincense resins. Trade during this time was primarily a domestic affair, with virtually no exchange with other states. Even rice, a staple of Omani food, was imported. Other types of goods were rarely imported nor considered necessary. There were no major trading ports in Oman, no serviceable airports, no infrastructure, and no modern communications technology.

Over the past few decades, Oman has transformed from a country with a deep historical connection to pearl diving into one of the world’s most fascinating diving destinations.
