Sweet spot: January, February, August. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

💡 Good to know

The reviewed khareef baseline still requires current fog, rain, flash-flood, livestock, crowd and road checks; greenery and flowing water are never guaranteed.
Dhofar remains visitable, but the khareef-specific route promise is not reliable; these months need a separate dry-season product review.
