Mangroves at Bandar Khairan, Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲 The green trees growing in the sea to the left are black mangroves (Avicenia marina’ or Qurm in Arabic). These are one of the few trees which can live in salty conditions. They prefer bays such as those at Al Khairan, as well as lagoons such as those in Qurum in Muscat. The mangrove woodland in Al Khairan is one of the largest in the area. The dense vegetation of the Mangrove forests provides nutrients and shelter for fish, crayfish and birds. About 20 of these forests are still growing along Oman’s coast. —“Take Nothing But Photos, Leave Nothing But Footprints” — Mangroves a Bandar Khairan, Sultanat d'Oman 🇴🇲 Les arbres verts poussant dans la mer à gauche sont des mangroves noires (Avicenia marina ’ou Qurm en arabe). Ce sont l'un des rares arbres qui peuvent vivre dans des conditions d’eau salines. Ils préfèrent les baies comme celles d'Al Khairan, ainsi que les lagunes comme celles de Qurum à Mascate. La forêt de mangroves d'Al Khairan est l'une des plus grandes de la région. La végétation dense des forêts de mangroves fournit des nutriments et un abri aux poissons, aux écrevisses et aux oiseaux. Une vingtaine de ces forêts poussent encore le long de la côte d’Oman. #Oman #Sea #Mountains #EarthCapture #arabian #wild #nikonmea #outdooroman #myarabia #mangroves #nature #naturelovers #outdoors #paysage #awesomeearth #wildernessculture #GoneOutdoor #beautifuldestinations #TravelNow #Globetrotter #undiscovered #travel #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel #voyageursdumonde #condenasttraveller

Al Wathba Fossil Dunes, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Al Wathba Fossil Dunes Geological uniqueness and beauty Al Wathba Fossil dunes  are unique and fascinating formations of amazing wind-swept sand, permeated with calcium carbonate and hence hardened to form distinct. These wonderful natural sculptures are varied and created abstract desert structures not to be missed when in Abu Dhabi. During the glacial period when they were created, the groundwater levels were higher than nowadays and rainfalls more frequent. That allowed water to permeate the sand with calcium carbonate. Hence the sand was hardened in some areas forming the fossil dunes. “You can experience the beauty of nature only when you sit with it, observe it, breathe it and talk to it.”

Scenic view of Wadi Bani Khalid and his main pool It is the best-known and most famous wadi of the Sharqiyah region and in Oman. It is part of the Hajar Mountains. Located at 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Muscat, it is really accessible as you have to walk only 5 minutes from the car park. You need to take more time and hire up the gorge to appreciate the area and to swim in-between the steep cliffs. The flow of water is constant throughout the year. You will find several white crystal clear blue pools where you can swim. The river continues to the main village given to the locals people water for their gardens.

Men swimming in the clear water Wadi As Shab - meaning gorge between the cliffs - is in the Ash Shrqiyah region in Oman, famous for his pools and for trekking. It is less than 2 hours drive from Muscat. It is a very popular outdoor attraction for both locals and expats (it gets very busy during week-ends and public holidays). You will walk along palm groves, rocky cliffs before reaching the main pool and a fter a leisurely 45 minutes you get to a point where you can swim up the wadi to enter a cave... Note that it is forbidden to swim in the lower pools as they are source of drinking water. Hajar mountains receive the majority of Oman’s sparse rainfall and over time the flow of water down them has carved out numerous gorges. A pool in Wadi As Shab
