Ras Al Jinz with kids: turtle watching in Oman!
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the reserve to see the turtles. We had to gather at the reception desk of the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve at 7:30 p.m. and then it’s wait and see what time you will be picked up by the guides

Highlights: We were allowed to get so close to the turtle in question. We expected to be allowed to stand behind ribbons a few meters from the turtle ✨
