Salalah is the capital and seat of the governor or Wali of the southern Omani province of Dhofar. Salalah is the second largest town in the Sultanate of Oman and a traditional stronghold.
Salalah, despite lying close to the Arabian desert, enjoys a tropical climate through most of the year. Temperatures are very hot in the summer soaring up to 40 degrees but in winter can fall down to 22 degrees. The town is subjected to the south west monsoons. This period (late June to early September) is known as the khareef season. Visitors from across the Persian Gulf flock to Salalah to enjoy the monsoon and avoid the harsh heat faced by the rest of the region during the same period. Also in this period, the town's population nearly doubles and various fairs are organized, such as the Khareef Festival at Ittin.
The city of Salalah is known as the perfume capital of Arabia . The city is a popular destination for tourism due to the natural attractions of the nearby mountains and abundant stands of frankincense trees lining mountain wadi courses. Around the city and into the mountains the countryside is lush and green during the monsoon period with the vegetation supporting herds of cattle. The climate supports wildlife often more commonly associated with East Africa, such as leopards and hyenas.
The beaches and coastline are also major attractions for scuba diving and bird watching.
Salalah is a city of antiquity, boasting both the ruins of a fortified town Sumharam an important port from 100BC–400AD and the resting place of the Koranic prophet Ayoub Job in the nearby Jabal Gadu.

The strategic location of this port has made it one of the major entry points to India, the Middle East, and Africa.
