About
A gift from Petroleum Development Oman to the nation on Oman's 40th National Day, the Ecology Oman Centre documents the country's extraordinary biodiversity, environmental challenges, and conservation achievements. Exhibits cover Oman's diverse ecosystems — from the hot springs of the interior to the coral reefs of the Arabian Sea — and the efforts to preserve them for future generations.
The centre has an educational emphasis, making it particularly valuable for students and families interested in environmental science and conservation. Oman's natural heritage — sea turtles, Arabian oryx, mountain leopards, and unique endemic plants — is celebrated throughout.
