🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Arabian Oryx Sanctuary is located within the Central Oman Desert and Coastal Hills biogeographic region. Seasonal fog and dew support a unique desert ecosystem, with a diverse flora that includes several endemic plants. Rare animals here include the first free-ranging herd of Arabian Oryx since the species became extinct in the wild in 1972, which was reintroduced in 1982. It is also the only wild breeding site for the endangered Houbara Bustard (a wading bird) in Arabia, as well as Nubian Ibex, Arabian wolves, honey badgers, caracals and the largest wild population of Arabian gazelles.
