Kuwait Airways’ inaugural flight to Salalah recently landed, coinciding with the annual Salalah Autumn Festival. Salalah is the capital of Thafar governorate, which overlooks the Arabian Sea and is influenced by the seasonal winds coming from the Indian ocean, encompassing its coastal valleys and mountains with clouds and fog and immersing its terrain with rain and mist.
Kuwait Airways began its operation with one weekly flight but will increase its operation to two flights per week. Salalah’s Autumn Festival coincides with the summer season in the rest of the Gulf region, a prime factor that attracts Gulf residents to travel to Salalah for a cool holiday, while temperatures hit high in their own countries. — (menareport.com)
