 The
Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was established in 1994 to help
protect oryx and to conserve desert habitat and threatened
species. It covers approximately 27,500 sq. km of central Oman
and lies equidistant from Muscat and Salalah. The sanctuary
also contains examples of geological formations and
landscapes that are of exceptional scientific and aesthetic
value. It is the region’s first UNESCO World Natural
Heritage Site.
