Port of Salalah

Port of Salalah is a world class transshipment hub in the West Central Asia Region. Situated right at the major East-West shipping lanes, Salalah enjoys an attractive strategic location in the heart of the Indian Ocean Rim and caters to some of the world’s largest ocean going vessels.
Every port in the world has to keep pace with fewer but much larger shipping lines and the concentration of cargo into bigger vessels that are able to utilize just a few key hub ports.
Whilst the adage in transshipment “location, location, location” still holds true, it takes a port with location, technology, innovation, productivity and a dynamic management to succeed today.
Expansions continue and with focus on growth, innovation and commitment to our customers, the Port of Salalah is prepared for the future.

Transport

Salalah has an airport, mainly catering to domestic flights from Muscat and some regional cities such as Kuwait, Dubai and Doha. Seasonal flights, some from as far away as Sweden, operate during the Khareef, which is the peak tourism season. Oman Air operates several flights daily to Salalah Airport from Muscat. Air India Express operates three flights a week to Kerala, India: to Kozhikode via Kochi on Wednesday and Sunday and to Thiruvananthapuram via Kochi on Friday. Jazeera Airways operates seasonal flights to Salalah from Dubai via Kuwait

Geography

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 (Centigrade) but in winter can fall down to 22 degrees (Centigrade). 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
