BankDhofar named Gold Sponsor of Salalah Khareef Festival 2026
BankDhofar has been announced as a Gold Sponsor of the Salalah Khareef Festival 2026, one of the region’s most celebrated tourism and cultural events. The festival attracts large numbers of visitors from across the world, offering a distinctive seasonal experience defined by monsoon mist, lush greenery, cultural heritage showcases, and traditional music.
The Khareef season provides a strategic platform for BankDhofar to deepen engagement with customers and strengthen its market presence in Dhofar Governorate. As part of its participation, the bank will host a dedicated pavilion at Ittin Plain, designed in alignment with the visual identities of both BankDhofar and Dhofar Islamic. The pavilion will showcase a comprehensive suite of banking solutions, including retail and SME banking services, personal finance offerings, and advanced digital banking channels.
In addition, the bank will roll out a series of activations across key tourist and heritage destinations throughout the governorate, further reinforcing its community outreach and customer engagement initiatives during the peak tourism season.
Enhancing accessibility across Dhofar, BankDhofar will also deploy its innovative mobile branch during the Khareef period. Fully equipped to deliver end-to-end banking services and personalised financial advisory support, the mobile unit will operate across multiple high-traffic locations, ensuring convenient and seamless service for residents and visitors alike.
BankDhofar recognises the Khareef Festival as a key economic catalyst for Dhofar, driving activity across hospitality, retail, transport, and small businesses. Hotels and lodges operate at full capacity during the season, while local vendors of frankincense, honey, and traditional crafts benefit from heightened demand. Many of these transactions are increasingly supported by digital payment solutions such as the bank’s SoftPOS service, improving efficiency and customer convenience for merchants and visitors.
Through its sponsorship, BankDhofar reaffirms its commitment to corporate social responsibility, financial inclusion, and local economic development. The bank continues to play an active role in supporting Dhofar’s social and economic ecosystem, anchored in principles of service, sustainability, and shared growth.
With an extensive network of more than 145 branches across Oman and over 400 ATMs, cash deposit machines, and multi-service kiosks, BankDhofar continues to expand financial accessibility nationwide, serving individuals, SMEs, and corporate clients through a robust and modern banking infrastructure.
