The below really does illustrate the different things people in various parts of the world look for when choosing a holiday destination:
"The autumn (Khareef season) is at its peak in the southern region of Oman. “The greenery and constant drizzle is an experience worth driving for 1000-plus kilometres distance for a week-long holidays,” Dr Jai Shukla, Senior Orthopedic Surgeon with the Sur Hospital in eastern Oman, told Gulf News over the telephone from Salalah.
He also pointed out that Salalah was jam-packed with tourists. However, Shukla added, that there were several places around Salalah where one could find solitude amidst large expanse of green mountains.
‘The drive, he added, through the foggy mountain was something everyone should enjoy early morning or late in the evening.”
Oman’s southern region — Dhofar — offers everything that you would want, to escape intense summer heat.
Dhofar has cool weather, intermittent drizzle, foggy mornings, gushing springs, breath-taking waterfalls, green valleys and lush verdant hills."
We Brits on the other hand would drive 1000km to AVOID drizzle and fog.
