Dhofar Through the Ages

Dhofar, the southern governorate of Oman, lies within a distinctive ecological zone due to the summer Southwest Monsoon. Archaeological surveys and excavations in the governorate, beginning in 1954, have brought to light Dhofar’s ancient past stretching back to the Lower Paleolithic ca. 1.5 my BP.

Dhofar, guvernarea sudica a Omanului, se afla intr-o zona ecologica distincta datorita musonului de vara din sud-vest. Gazduieste numeroase plante suculente indigene, dintre care cea mai faimoasa este tamaia (Boswellia sacra).
