Salalah: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) has affirmed its readiness for the 2025 Dhofar Khareef season.

The General Command of Police on Sunday provided the Dhofar Governorate Police Command with a human support force, specialised machinery and technical equipment to support field efforts and enhance security and police services provided to visitors to the governorate during the tourist season.

To enhance rapid response to various reports, reduce traffic accidents, and provide guidance and assistance to tourists and road users leading to Dhofar Governorate, the Royal Oman Police has set up check points at several locations and provided them with direct contact numbers to facilitate access by visitors when necessary and ensure security coverage of all areas along the road.

For its part, mounted patrols will contribute to covering tourist sites that are difficult to reach by vehicle, ensuring proximity to tourists visiting these locations, enhancing police presence to ensure safety and reassurance.

Coast Guard rescue teams will be stationed on Dhofar Governorate’s beaches and near water springs to ensure rapid response to drowning incidents and provide advice and guidance to visitors.

Police aviation will provide support in situations requiring helicopters, such as search and rescue operations, and will provide air ambulance services when necessary.

The Royal Oman Police affirms its readiness to handle all events and secure the season’s activities and events, including facilitating passport and visa procedures, streamlining movement at land and customs ports, and increasing police presence at tourist sites and event venues.

The Royal Oman Police calls on all visitors to adhere to the rules and regulations, cooperate with the police, and call the emergency number (9999) in case of need for assistance.
