The mountains in Dhofar are forming a kind of moon-shaped crescent which isolates the Salalah plain from the rest of the desert. The humid air coming from the sea elevates because of these mountains. It causes a higher rainfall than in other regions of Oman. Water coming down from the mountains generate a higher water table. Here can grow both coconut palms and date palms, and it is not rare to see camels walking under the coconut palms.
