Salalah in Oman is in the northern hemisphere and above the equator, and therefore, is prone to weathers similar to New Zealand.
Weather
Oman is known for its extremely hot springs, summers and autumns, followed by mild winters that belong to the Mediterranean coasts.
Hotels
The Salalah attractions that offer some escape from the heat are the beach front establishments and air conditioned hotels like Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara.
Simmering summers
When it’s hot in Salalah, expect dry, dusty heat, and if you want to travel there in summer and expect some relief from the heat, you can always pack up and leave to the Hajar Mountains. The highest peaks of the mountains near Salahah are sometimes over 2000m high and can be very cold during the mildest of winters.
Getting away
Travellers who opt to camp or trek the mountain ranges can enjoy cooler temperatures while the other parts of Oman still has sweltering climates.
Closest Getaway
The Wadi Darbat is the perfect choice for those who don’t want to travel too far for better climates. This valley is about half an hour away from Salalah and is one of the most visited valleys of the area, either by groups of friends, couples or families with children.
