Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

Although I didn't see the turtle, the starry sky was super beautiful!!! The tent room was very good

The hotel is located in the turtle protection area. After checking in, there are activities to observe turtles at 20:20 in the evening and 5:00 in the morning of the next day. Fortunately, I saw turtles in both activities. It was very meaningful. In addition to turtles, you can also see the starry sky.

Nice location and views

The turtles worked hard!
Turtles usually come ashore at night, dig holes on the beach to lay eggs, bury the eggs, and then return to the sea.
I like this hotel.

Amazing experience, came with our family (2 kids, a 3 year old and 1 year old) and we got to see everything we could have possibly asked to see: baby turtle emerging from their eggs, walking to the sea, mother turtles coming to the beach to lay eggs, watching the egg laying and covering process, all under the expert guidance or our guide who was very strict at enforcing where people walked and ensuring no flash photography or lighting was used.

I have read the negative reviews, but I did not see anything remotely negative during our stay (2 nights in luxury tent). The accommodation was perfectly set amongst the mountains and the views at night will stay with me for life.

Took the attached images on my second visit to Ras Al Jinz Turtle reserve as part of a Turtle Rescue Campaign organised by Environment Authority Oman.
