Topography

The diverse and rich topography of Oman divides the country naturally into three distinct regions, each with its own identity. These regions range from rugged mountains and deep fjords in the north, through the spectacular dunes of the Sharqiyah (Wahiba) Sandsand two large salt flats in the centre, to the lush green hills of the Dhofar region in the south. A rugged and varied coastline stretches from north to south.
The Qara Mountains are the second mountain range in Oman situated in the Southern region. These attract the light monsoon rains during the mid-summer months, turning them green with vegetation. As in the north, a narrow fertile coastal plain lies between the mountains and the sea. The city of Salalah, capital of Dhofar, is here surrounded by lush farmland and coconut groves.

Regions

The Sultanate of Oman is administratively divided into four Governorates and five Regions:
