About
Located in central Salalah, the Museum of Dhofar presents the remarkable natural heritage of the Dhofar region — its unique flora and fauna shaped by the Khareef monsoon season, its geological formations, and its diverse coastal and mountain ecosystems. The Dhofar governorate is ecologically unlike anywhere else in Arabia, and this museum helps visitors understand why.
Exhibits cover the unique Dhofari cattle, the southern Arabian leopard, the Khareef season flora that turns Dhofar's mountains green from June to September, and the region's ancient human settlements. A valuable companion to exploring the Dhofar landscape in person.
