Khareef, in Arabic means "autumn," refers to the season in which Dhofar, Oman, experiences a predominantly tropical climate.

The season starts from mid-June to the end of August.

Rainfall occurs frequently and is occasionally accompanied by patches of white fog, which calms the weather and blankets Salalah and Dhofar in breathtakingly beautiful lush greenery. Khareef is the time of year when visitors from all over the world come to Salalah to take part in its natural beauty.

To commemorate the exceptional regional season in Oman, the Ministry of Tourism holds the "Khareef Festival," also known as the "Salalah Tourist Festival." Individual traditional performances, mouthwatering Omani cuisines, and exquisite handicrafts are all showcased.
