Sur & Wahiba Dunes

Famed for the shipyards where traditional dhows have been built for centuries, Sur is the nearest town to the turtle nesting beaches of Ras Al Junayz and Ras al Haad, attracting the largest number of Green turtles in Oman. There are conservation projects close by which can be visited. The nearby spectacular dunes of Wahiba Sands, which extend for some 180kms, provide extraordinary contrasts of colour and lights, especially at sunrise and sunset.
