Oman Air official carrier for festival

Oman Air has announced its participation as the official carrier and major sponsor of this year’s Salalah Tourism Festival.
0Due to its exceptional natural phenomena, Dhofar is considered as one of the most arresting areas for tourists particularly in autumn, where the temperature ranges between 15 to 22 degrees Celsius.
Usama bin Karim Al-Haremi, head of corporate communications and media at Oman Air, said: “We are very pleased to once again be playing a pivotal role in promoting Dhofar Governorate in general and Salalah Tourism Festival in particular.”
He said: “The Salalah Tourism Festival is a wonderful window on the amazing history, culture and traditions of this breathtaking region of Oman and, between July and September, we are offering some superb deals. Travelers from throughout the AGCC area and beyond will be given the opportunity to experience the Khareef. This monsoon season is unique to the area, bringing lush greenery, bright flowers, waterfalls, and relief from the heat.”
Located between the blue waters of the Arabian Sea and the spectacular, precipitous mountains, beyond which lies the vast desert of the fabled Empty Quarter, it is the only area of the AGCC where people can escape the desert heat in the summer and experience the relief of rain.
Along with the festival, Oman Air will also be promoting the wider attractions and superb facilities of Dhofar, which is also famed for its many archaeological sites and ancient Frankincense trade.
Al-Haremi added: “This initiative is part of the national carrier of Oman’s efforts to develop greater levels of in-bound tourism and it again signals our strong commitment to building a solid AGCC-wide tourism proposition.”
