Reached from the Wahiba Sands via the stunning water pools and shady canyon of Wadi Bani Khalid, Ras Al Jinz is a small sandy bay where greenback turtles come ashore to nest all year round (though the principal nesting season is July to September).
You need a permit to visit the beach at night, and we can obtain this for you: visits are undertaken in the company of a guide who ensures minimal disruption to the huge turtles as they dig their nests and lay their eggs.
You should also be able to see some of the hatchlings making their precarious way down to the ocean.
