Salalah, where INS Ranvijay called, is the main city of Dhofar governorate in southern Oman

Background

This standing fact is tied to the call of the Indian Navy destroyer INS Ranvijay at Salalah. Salalah is the main city of Dhofar governorate in southern Oman, on the coast of the Arabian Sea. It is a major port, and it was where the Indian ship made its port call and held a passage exercise with the Royal Navy of Oman. Muscat, in the north, is the national capital. Salalah was also named as the site of the AI data centre agreed during Sultan Haitham's state visit to the United Kingdom.
