Snaking through hills and highlands, Wadi Darbat makes its way to the Arabian Gulf and is most stunning at its peak in autumn. The wadi is perfect for those of you who are mesmerized by mountains and springs, and the thrill that comes with exploring and simply being one with nature. Undisturbed by human activity (well, other than the tourists and locals milling about), the wadi offers mountains shrouded by verdant greenery and grass at ground level, so green that it’s no surprise to spot cows grazing in the distance.

Dubbed "Khareef" during this monsoon season when everything is in full bloom and water gushes down as falls to join rivers and streams, we promise that you will not be short of sights to drink in. Whether you want to settle down on the grass and contemplate the most complicated matters or experience Wadi Darbat like never before, you will no doubt be fully satisfied. Enjoy a boat ride across the dark waters of the lake, or try paddling on a paddle boat. Don't worry, even your adorable tots can enjoy paddling their own colorful boat in an area marked out exclusively for them! When your stomach starts to growl, you can enjoy a barbecue grill as you gaze out at your lush surroundings, or settle down for a picnic as the kids try to catch a breeze to send their kites high into the sky. Your trip to Salalah won’t be complete until you make your way here.
