Salalah

A monsoon that turns an Arabian desert coastline green for three months every summer while the rest of the peninsula bakes, frankincense trees still tapped the ancient way, and a beach culture that Gulf tourists treat as their own secret escape from the heat elsewhere.
The best time to visit Salalah is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (84°F).
