We flew into Muscat, the capital of Oman and spent a few days sightseeing and hiking. From there we drove 3 hours to southern Oman to Ras Al Jinz turtle sanctuary. We stayed a blustery night in a tent and woke up at 4 AM and were alone with the nesting Sea Turtles. Staying right at the sanctuary is a definite plus - click here for all the information you need for staying right at the sanctuary.
