Ah ok in any case ,I highly recommend visiting the salalah area espesically during Khareef and exploring the mountains.

I know what you mean, like I myself mentioned earlier, Salalah in the southern region of the Dhofar Mountains near Yemen turns green during the Khareef (Monsoon), because its climate is influenced by the Indian monsoon: https://books.google.com/books?id=VENtDw...on&f=false

Have you ever thought about taking a trip to oman to maybe spot some arabian leopards? I remember driving in salalah and seeing a wolf cross the road but no leopards.

Here is more information on Arabian mountains: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-hillock...#pid123694 Reply

This was shown in YouTube last year. It would have to be in the western mountainous region of the Sarawat, which is composed of the Midianite (in the north, towards the Levant), Hijazi (middle, including Mecca and Medina) and 'Asiri (southern, towards Yemen) subranges:

Rare pictures of an Arabian leopard being collared:

"Some cool photos of my father working in southern Oman on the Arabian leopard project in the early 2000’s."

"the helis were used to move the cages into wadis (canyons) using cables underneath them. The cages would then stay there and any leopards trapped would be studied and collared in the field, at the location where they were caught. The leopard project is ongoing but they have shifted away from trapping and collaring for now, relying more on camera traps."
