This pleasant fishing village and lagoon has some wonderful beaches overlooking the blue waters of the Arabian Sea. It is very close to Ras Al-Jinz, the easternmost point of the Arabian Peninsula, which is famous all over the world for its green turtle nesting sights. The mothers come ashore all year round (though particularly in October and November) to give birth to their young. As many as 20,000 females return her to nest and it is possible to go out at night to watch them nest.
