Landmarks

Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

The Easternmost peninsula in Oman hosts one of the world's most important populations of green turtles. Throughout the year, these vast sea-reptiles haul their weight of up to 190 kilograms from the sea at Ras Al Jinz to lay the future of this endangered species.

From the around 100 eggs each female lays during a night, only one hatchling may survive to maturity. Visitors to Ras Al Jinz will find that the night walk to the beach may provide the rewarding experience of seeing the start of one of nature's most remarkable life cycles.

On 23 April 1996, Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve is designated as a nature reserve.[12]

Shopping

Located at the heart of Ras Al Hadd is the area's first shopping centre, Alfouz Hypermarket, which opened on 10 May 2018. The mall caters to the shopping needs of the people of Ras Al Hadd and also to tourists, with items from groceries to swimwear.
