Archaeology

[edit]

In November 2019, 45 well-preserved tombs covering a 50-80 square metre area and a settlement, dating back to beginning of theIron Age, were discovered inAl-Mudhaibi by archaeologists fromOman andHeidelberg University. Archaeologists believed that the site belonged to the miners who were working in copper mining.[6]

Ecology

[edit]

Of particulartouristic interest is the coast, which includes the headlands ofRaʾs al-Ḥadd and Raʾs al-Ghaimah (Arabic:رَأْس ٱلْغَيْمَة). The stretch ofbeach (42 kilometres (26 miles)) between these two places is the most significantnesting ground in theIndian Ocean forgreen turtles. An estimated 13,000turtles lay their individual clutches of 80 to 100eggs annually.[7] Oman's Ministry of Regional Municipalities, Environment and Water[8] administers the site, which is one of the Sultanate's most importantnature reserves.

In addition, there isWadi Bani Khalid.[3][4] Located in theHajar Mountains,[9] and what is now the northern governorate,[1] it is one of the most well-knownwadis in the country.[10]
