Nestled in the southern region of Oman, along the shores of the Arabian Sea, lies Salalah, the country’s second-largest city. Here, influenced by the Indian Ocean monsoons, Salalah boasts a unique climate that sets it apart from its desert counterparts. The vibrant coral reefs and lagoons that adorn its coastline thrive in this relatively-humid haven. As winter approaches, a group of migratory birds descend upon Salalah, seeking refuge from colder climes. The symphony of wings and calls that fills the air forms up a seasonal spectacle that captivates both scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.
