Nature-lovers can observe a variety of birds and the famous green turtles at Ras al Hadd south of Sur on the furthermost tip of the Oman coast.
The mountain areas abound with a network of wadis with lovely green alpine pools, often shaded by date palms. The golden dunes of the Wahiba Sands are popular for camping under the stars.
