About Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve

The most important green turtle nesting site in the Arabian Peninsula — recognised by UNESCO as a globally significant natural spectacle. Thousands of endangered green turtles return here every year to nest, 365 days a year.

Night tours with certified guides are the only way to access the protected beach — ensuring turtle protection while delivering an unforgettable wildlife experience. Witnessing a turtle laying eggs and hatchlings racing to the sea in the same evening is one of nature's greatest spectacles.
