Ḏarbat 'Alī Cape

The Arabian Sea meets the mountains of western Dhofar along the coast between Dalkut and Rakhyut. Here the narrow coastal plain lies below Jabal Qamar, and the inlet of Khor Kharfot is separated from the sea by a sand barrier. In summer the khareef monsoon brings clouds, mist and drizzle to the seaward slopes. The mountains hold much of that moisture away from the dry country inland.
