Oman
Fortress Ra's al-Hadd is one of the forts of the Sultanate of Oman. This fort commands a small sandy coastal area forming the easternmost corner of the Arabian Peninsula, which is regarded as a settlement site and a land base for ancient seafarers early in history. The land of the cape represents a centre of activity and interest for archaeologists, and it is also an important nesting site for thousands of sea turtles.
