Nature's preserve in Oman

Muscat: Located about 500 kilometres south of Muscat Barr Al Hikman in Al Wasta Governorate (the central region), is considered one of the most important bird migration stations both in Oman and and the region. Many birds congregate here, especially water birds coming from as far as Siberia’s northern shores. In addition to being a sanctuary for birds and fish of all kinds, the existence of coral reefs off its shores make it a favourite destination for divers.
