Every year, from late June to September, the nature of Dhofar in Oman is transformed into a masterpiece, and this phenomenon is known locally as “the fall”. Autumn casts a magical suit to this region, which is affected by the monsoons from the West Indian Ocean. Visitors to this region will be truly amazed at the beauty of nature when it rains, mist accompanied by thick clouds and fog to enjoy an unparalleled experience in the Middle East.
And while the neighboring countries are reeling under the weight of summer heat, southern Oman is vibrant, as it is covered with a green tint, and temperatures start to gradually decrease with noticeable cold and waterfalls flow from the mountains. This wonderful and strange phenomenon has become popular throughout the Middle East and other regions. Accordingly, the resort of Al Baleed Salalah, managed by Anantara, cooperated with the Salalah Club of Photographers so that the autumn photos were taken while a guest visited Salalah, especially in the following places:
Sha’at – forming clouds, intermittent clouds and clouds.

And don’t forget the stunning scenery it offers its visitors, 95 meters above sea level. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Shaat slopes which are the most beautiful in Oman.
Ein Athum – Ein Athum features a 15-meter limestone waterfall surrounded by a thick forest of trees, preparing citizens and tourists alike with an ideal location to enjoy the finest scenery of autumn. Hence, it is sufficient for your journey to start driving on the winding road in the lush green landscape.
Al-Mughassil Beach – The background of this beach, which is very popular all year round, is adorned with singing mountains. It increases magic and charm during the autumn, when its waves become strong and break on the rocks until water comes out of its gaps in fountains up to 30 meters high.
Darbat Valley – Camels and other wild animals will see you wandering freely around this tranquil natural park, which is a great place for hiking, exploring waterfalls and hidden swimming holes. Visitors can take a boat ride on the lake and take a stroll on the beach.
