@Osman i suggest you not to visit Salalah other than monsoon season. The monsoon will start in June month and end in September.. The right time to visit is 1st or 2nd week of September.

I had gone there 7times and my first visit was before the monsoon and the hole mountain area was dry somewhat like fujairah and dibba. My 2nd visit was in monsoon and couldn't belive my eyes, the hole stretch of mountains transformed to lavish green.

I totally agree with Asif's comment, don't go in April unless you really love the long drive and have only available opportunity in April.

You can add more points to your Salalah trip:

  • Fill up gas at every gas station as each is spread out every 200 kms stretch, even if your tank is half as you never know the next fuel station might be out of fuel - safety advise
  • Take 10-15 mins break every 200 kms and walk around and check / adjust your tire pressure
  • Carry extra fuel jerry can and lots of spare water
  • If you are doing it in one stretch, then sleep extra (8-10 hours) night before to counter the stress of 12-14 hours drive
  • Keep good music, chewing gum, candies, snacks to munch while driving as after first few hours it's very monotonous
  • Carry toolkit (spanner, screwdrivers, wrench, sockets etc), working jack, tow rope, and shackle.
  • Research and book hotel in advance because after 14 hours of fatigue, you will crash in the first or second hotel you check

@Mohd86 and @Abbas2528 please add more points based on your last visit

I suggest you can take rest in below hotel between UAE to Salalah

This is the only hotel between UAE to Salalah as per my research. 

And the night charges are approx AED 150-180 

Arabian Sands Hotel Haim - +968 23 436314
