Qaftat

Qaftat (Arabic: قفطات) is a village in the Dhofar Governorate of southwestern Oman.

[1] It is located in a coastal area amidst mountains facing the Arabian Sea.

The region experiences a unique monsoon season, called Khareef, which brings greenery and waterfalls to the area between late June and September.

[3] While not a major tourist destination, Qaftat's location in Dhofar makes it a stopover for those exploring the region's natural attractions.
