Oman is one of the most remarkable bird migration corridors in the world, uniquely positioned at the crossroads of Asia, Arabia, Africa, and Europe. Among the most spectacular events in this natural wonderland is the mass migration of raptors—majestic birds of prey that travel thousands of kilometers across continents.
Each year, Oman becomes a vital stopover and seasonal home for nearly 40 species of raptors, including globally endangered species such as the Egyptian Vulture, Steppe Eagle, Eastern Imperial Eagle, Lappet Faced Eagle and Sooty Falcon. These powerful birds traverse desert dunes, mountain ranges, coastal plains, and fertile oases—habitats that make Oman a sanctuary for both migrating and resident raptors.
The country’s diverse ecosystems support an extraordinary variety of birdlife. Oman is a stronghold for many raptor populations that are declining elsewhere in the world due to habitat loss and climate change. These migratory patterns not only showcase the importance of Oman’s environment but also reflect its critical role in global conservation efforts.
To highlight and protect these incredible species, the Environment Society of Oman (ESO) recently launched The Raptors of Oman, a comprehensive guide dedicated to educating the public and promoting conservation.
