During Khareef in Dhofar, high humidity and constant dampness lead to more respiratory issues, fungal infections, and allergies. Mold growth, some street food, and crowded tourist areas also increase the risk of stomach bugs and viral infections. Slippery roads further raise accident risks. Thus, Dhofar Municipality along with Ministry of Health and Badr Al Samaa Group of Hospitals has established a robust medical system to cater to any health urgency ensuring safety and good health of the visitors.
