AD Daymaniyat Islands

Oman's Ad Dimaniyat Islands are a protected area. The Nature Reserve is located in the Muscat Governorate's Wilayat AlSeeb, some 18 kilometers (11 miles) off the coast of Barka (70 kilometers (43 miles) west of the capital Muscat). It is made up of nine islands that cover a total of 100 hectares (250 acres). The reserve has a diverse natural history and is home to a variety of coral reefs, including some that are quite uncommon. The island is a haven for migratory and local species, as well as a place where sea turtles deposit their eggs and nest.

To visit the islands, you must first obtain permission from the Ministry of MECA, as was the case under the prior rule. The stay on the island is limited to 5 days, and the total number of participants in the party must not exceed 12. After a decision from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Climate Affairs, campers and divers would have to pay more for their enjoyment.

Touring and snorkeling are two activities that you must undertake while visiting the Ad Daymaniyat islands. The island is a snorkeling hotspot thanks to its bright fish, sea turtles, and crystal blue waters. The island was designated as a natural reserve in 1993 to safeguard the area's turtles, fish, and coral reefs. Visitors will be taken on a half-day tour of Oman's island, which will include lunch.

Diving is another adventure activity available on the island, in addition to snorkeling. The quickest and most convenient way to arrive to the island is via boat.
