Ras al Jinz, A Turtle Paradise

Just south of Ras al Hadd lies Ras al Jinz, another vital nesting ground for Green turtles. This protected area offers a chance to witness these magnificent creatures laying their eggs and hatchlings emerging from the sand and making their way towards the ocean. Guided night tours allow responsible observation of this natural phenomenon, ensuring minimal disturbance to the turtles.

The turtle nesting season at Ras al Jinz typically runs from March to November, offering a longer window for observation compared to Ras al Hadd. Witnessing the female turtles lumber ashore, diligently laying their eggs, and then returning to the sea is a truly unforgettable experience. Weeks later, the magic continues as tiny hatchlings erupt from the sand, instinctively drawn towards the moonlight and the promise of the ocean. Protecting these vulnerable creatures is a priority, and the reserve ensures responsible tourism practices minimize disturbance to this vital natural process.

Beyond the turtle nesting season, Ras al Jinz offers a haven for nature lovers. The surrounding landscape boasts a diverse ecosystem, home to various bird species, including flamingos, ospreys, and herons. Take a guided nature walk and discover the hidden wonders of the area, learning about the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this coastal environment. For those seeking a more active experience, kayaking is a fantastic way to explore the coastline from a different perspective, spotting marine life and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.
