"If you visit during rainy season of August, be sure to bring appropriate clothing or umbrella. Beautiful waterfall but does not run in August. Views are still beautiful.

"During our recent visit to Ain Jarziz, the spring was dry, but the location was still worth seeing. Surrounded by lush greenery in the right season, this spot offers a peaceful escape into Salalah's natural beauty.
Even without flowing water, the calm atmosphere, mountain backdrop, and fresh air make it a pleasant stop. One tip be prepared for flies. Carry or buy fly-repellent ointment from nearby shops to make your visit more comfortable. Ain Jarziz is a great place to slow down, enjoy the quiet, and connect with nature."
