About this garden
Muscat's mangrove forest, viewable from the perimeter road in Qurum. Closed to entry but the perimeter walk reveals extraordinary birdwatching — particularly at low tide when mudflats attract herons and wading birds.
Winter months bring migratory birds making this one of the finest birdwatching spots in Muscat. Almost nobody knows this spot exists. Bring binoculars for the best experience.
