The Turtle Trip: Wadi Shabb & Ras al Jinz


  • UAE Trekkers صور, Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate Oman (map)

On your way to the highlight of watching the turtles lay their eggs and hatch, you’ll stop at Wadi Shabb, the wadi with the waterfall inside a cave!

This trip is for adults, families and kids who want to experience the magic of Oman for a weekend!

This trip requires driving to Oman on Friday night, making our way to Wadi Shabb on Saturday morning, then heading to Ras al Jinz for the night on Saturday. Turtle watching will happen on Sunday morning at 5 am just before sunrise, and then we will spend the morning in the water on a snorkeling and dolphin watching trip to the bays of Ras al Jinz before returning to Muscat by 3 pm.
