From the endemic Omani owl (Strix omanensis) to the widespread peregrine falcon, Oman is home to an extraordinary variety of birds. If you stay long enough, around 500 species of birds await your discovery. Some, like the crab plover, can only be found along the shores of Oman’s more remote coastlines; while others, like sunbirds, can be found throughout the entire country. A day or a few weeks, whatever your time, Oman offers some truly exceptional bird watching opportunities.
