Ras al Jinz

Ras al Jinz, a turtle reserve on Oman's easternmost coast, helps to populate and safeguard the Indian Ocean's sea turtles. Ras al Jinz, in Oman's Ash-Sharqiyyah South Governorate, is the Arabian Peninsula's easternmost point. Green turtles lay their eggs here, as does the beach in the nearby community of Ras al Hadd. You may have a chance to see the turtle nests along the beach and even watch baby turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean if you visit during the summer or between May and October.

Ras Al Jinz is the most popular spot in Oman to see turtles nesting and hatching. It is possible for you to see the turtle reserve on a day trip to Muscat, but most people prefer to stay at the resort and explore additional attractions such as the Turtle Visitor Center and Museum.
