Nature
Long regarded as Oman’s final frontier for adventure seekers and nature lovers, Duqm is today being transformed into a holiday destination for local and international tourists. Its geology, moonscape settings, pristine ocean fronts, idyllic fishing villages, teeming birdlife, exotic fauna and other attractions combine to make Duqm an extraordinary destination.

One of the greatest natural treasures of Duqm, and of the Sultanate of Oman, the Rock Garden is a carefully preserved six-kilometre site comprising unique rock formations believed to be 46 million years old. Surrounding this site are sandstone and limestone sculptures shaped by wind, water, ice and other natural elements over millions of years.Migratory birds
