Such micro-ecosystems are not unique to Oman, but few other places do they contrast so radically and obviously with the surrounding environment. In a sea of deserts and dryland, in a country bordering the nigh-uninhabitable Rub' al Khali, is this:
In the very, very south of Arabia, just by the Indian Ocean seaboard, lie the Dhofar mountains. Not only are they in just the right place to catch the seasonal rains, but they are also, crucially, tall and wide enough.
The result is a radically unique, isolated landscape.
The Khareef is a term in southern Arabia for the southeasterly monsoons that periodically sweep the peninsula from the Indian Ocean.
Of themselves, they do not significantly transform the Arabian landscape. The water is too dispersed, too periodic. But there is an exception.
When you think "Oman", what sort of landscapes come to mind? If I were to guess - if you are anything like me - it is probably something along these lines.
These are all pictures from Oman - it's not an inaccurate impression! It is, however, incomplete
