At Oman's Premier Golf Course and the second best golf course in the Middle East, Al Mouj Golf Course offers golfers the chance to partake in bird watching.
This outstanding Greg Norman designed championship golf course features beautiful landscapes home to some of the most beautiful and lesser-spotted birds in Muscat and the wider region.
There are so many different kinds of birds that Jens & Hanne Eriksen, well-known birdwatchers, have recently published "The Birds at Al Mouj Golf," a book documenting the various visiting and resident bird species and the conservation initiatives which have made it possible for these birds to make Al Mouj their home.
Al Mouj Golf Course was awarded the 2019 IAGTO Sustainability Award for Community value, recognizing the sustainable practices such as increasing natural habitats on the course, which have been instrumental in growing the plethora of wildlife in the area.
This is yet another accolade for Oman, which is gaining a reputation as one of the world's most exciting new golfing destinations.
In addition to championship golf at Al Mouj, Ghala Golf Club & Muscat Hills, Oman offers a diverse natural tourism product. Visitors can experience the solitude of the Al Hajar Mountains at Alila Hotel Jebal Akhdar, explore a skyscraper-free cultural capital while staying at The Chedi in Muscat, or take a trip from Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah to the Daymaniyat Islands, a protected nature reserve that is home to abundant coral, turtles, and whale sharks.
