It’s better to be here in August

Its always a good time to visit Wadi Darbat, but what season you visit will determine what you see. If you visit in June, you will be at the height of the summer, prior to the monsoon season in the fall, so the amount of water and rivers will be at their least. On the plus side, if you have an off road vehicle, you will be able to explore the whole valley with your vehicle, and appreciate the scenery, the animals, etc. On the negative, no boating, and very limited waterways.

better tilo bring your own food. Homemade food is preferred option unless your fan of fast-food than American fast food chain could be a choice. however, I suggets you prepare your meal and bring it in a storage containers to preserve the food. Try this location coordinates through Google Map Apps. X: 17.077674 & Y: 54.452539. Don't stay or have your picnic near waterpools in Durbat due to possible bytes of small misquotes. Try to aviod area with small waterpool where small misquotes will definitely find their way to bytes you.

The ideal time to visit Salalah is the Khareef Season (monsoon) i.e. June to September. The places to see in the order of scenic beauty are: 1. Marneef Cave & Al Mughsail Beach Excellent scenic place for all ages. Marneef Cave is located at the end of Al Mughsail Beach length of more than few kms. 2. Ain Garziz / Jargiz This is also a very scenic & ideal place for families. During monsoon season it provides waterfall to enjoy more in the water. You need to take towel, short & inner wear to take bath in the water there. This place is also visited by most families or tourist. 3. Wadi Darbat Compared to above 2 places this place is less scenic but most visited by the tourist or families. It has green mountains all around with lake in center where boat rides are available at OMR 3 to 5 for 20 minutes. In my opinion alll above places will be green through out the year. So it doesn't matter if you visit this weekend. You will come to know the real situation on your visit & then you can also help by providing your review on it for this month. Note that all above places are at different locations. To cover all this place, one day is enough. During my visit in October, I noticed more crowd at: 1. Wadi Darbat 2. Ain Garziz 3. Marneef Cave Hope above info will help to make the right decision.

Any type of car can reach the place ? Enjoy your time

Not recommended... on that time best place is enjoying that beautiful beach and visit museums and the old suqe

There are no certain trekking routes, but some people go there and make their own tracks. I don't recommend you to trek there because it would be risky due to snakes, fail of network, and the mosquito during monsoon season. Anyway, if you like to hangout and hiking, I think it's better to do it beside the main asphalt roads.

Ive not driven from the port. But port is enroute Mughsayl (South of Salalah) and wadi Darbat is enroute Mirbat/Hasik north of Salalah. It is all nearby. From the port you need to drive through the city to get to Wadi Darbat direction. Port is located somewhat outskirts and you will not get a taxi or public transport. get to the town womehow and then its easy.
