Ain Razat, located behind Salalah in southern Oman, is a lush area fed by fresh springs. Once a primary water source for Salalah, it's now a public park. The main spring and its smaller contributories flow into a pool, with the water travelling through a falaj (watercourse) to Al-Mamurah Palace and Razat Farm. The highest flow occurs during the Khareef season. While signs caution against swimming due to Bilharzia risks, some visitors seem unbothered. The author recounts an unpleasant experience at the park's restroom, where he discovered the use of a knobbled stick in place of conventional toilet paper, marking a less enjoyable moment in his travels.
