Description
The sea around Muscat is rich in marine life thanks to seasonal cold-water currents that sustain healthy coral reefs. Dolphin species such as spinner, bottlenose, and common dolphins frequent the coast from Musandam to Salalah, including Muscat. You may also spot whale sharks (from May to October), false killer whales, and occasionally humpback whales, orcas, Arabian whales, and blue whales. Wildlife watching is conducted responsibly to protect the resident animals and marine environment.
Snorkeling takes place in calm, naturally protected spots within the so-called 'Omani Fjords.' These areas have rocky faces, wadis, and abundant coral reefs with colorful marine life including green and hawksbill turtles year-round. The snorkeling site is shallow and suitable for a variety of swimming and paddleboarding activities.
Please bring sun protection appropriate for your needs and consider coral-friendly options to help preserve the reef.
