ADVENTURES DESIGNED & LED BY EXPERTS

Explore the best Oman birdwatching tours designed and led by our experts throughout the Sultanate. We are based in the sultanate and monitor the birding sites throughout the year. For more than two decades of birdwatching experience in Oman, our experts have gained enormous knowledge of the sites, species, wildlife, best timing, logistics, equipment, techniques, and tricks required for each birding site throughout the year.

We continuously update our itineraries based on our experts’ observations and regular site visits. Our experts have mapped a list of more than 143 of the best birding sites throughout the Sultanate, most of which are secret to our experts. We monitor these sites continuously throughout the year and include the best for each of our adventures.

These sites are located nationwide, including Muscat, the Al Batinah coast, Musandam, the Ash Sharqiyah region, the Al Hajar Mountains, Masirah and Barr Al Hikman, the Central Desert, and Dhofar. 

Although birds can be found almost anywhere in the country, they are not uniformly distributed. To enhance birdwatching beyond the most common ones, we design our Oman birdwatching tours and wildlife trips to include visits to several places at the right time of the year, especially Salalah in the south.

Oman lies at the crossroads of four distinct regions for migrant birds: Asia, Arabia, Africa, and Europe. Nearly 536 species have been recorded in total since the first record in the 13th century by the famous Arabian explorer Ibn Battuta. Pack your hat, boots, and binoculars, and prepare to explore the safest, friendliest, and most enjoyable Middle Eastern birdwatching venue.

Some tourism destinations measure success by the number of arriving passengers. Still, Oman’s nature-based tourism strategy also focuses on other arrivals. During the migration season 100s of species arrive in the sultanate. That’s why we think Oman is one of Arabia’s busiest hubs for international flights.
